Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay

Flinty, waxy, oaky, cucumber, slight herbaceous edge but really tasty

Last bottle

2010. Striking aromatics of tropical and stone fruit and and oak. Texturally creamy and weighty with a refreshing acidity combines with those stone fruits making this a nice thirst quencher for triple digits heat today.

Very nice. Taken for good white burgundy by our blind tasting group.

This wine used to have a lot of apparent oak, but it's folding in nicely. Mineral, not a ton of fruit, but with good richness, probably helped by a touch of RS. Less tannin than some years, but sneakily high acidity. Starting to develop some interesting funk, roasted nuts, lanolin, and there's a whiff of salt air tang. This is one of the best bottles of SCM Chardonnay I've tasted.

A little more apparent wood than the other Chardonnays, but with plenty of complexity to keep it from getting out of hand. A great California Chardonnay.

This is what CA chard can be

Just so easy to drink. Great balance and nothing out of place. Sadly my only bottle.

Always a fave. Pre-Falltacular dinner in the OC.

Matured beautifully
