Touch of oak. Good bit of acidity. Little hot and alcoholic. Not bad. Lacking creaminess and some fruit that my favorite Cali Chardonnay has.

Very delicate and balanced wine, with a strong personality. Subtle notes of pomegranate, grass and citrus, well balanced acidity and sweetness. It could be cellared for 1-4 years, perfectly enjoyable now.
