Soft, pretty and expressive, especially with a little air.

Not bad for $15 on Benchmark. Richer than most, without teetering towards milky, lactic zone. Definitely went through malo and brings the toasty oak to the party. Not bad, and definitely made the girlfriend happy.

Clean a round neutral oak gives it a white peach and stone feel. Soft and low acidity

$35, Chardonney (not Pinot), very buttery and earthy, great for a CA chard

Deep mineral taste, clean acidity, citrus notes, really smooth mouthfeel. This wine has a lot of body but is still light on the palate. Bottom line: damn good Chardonnay, after a few years in the bottle it's gonna be epic.
