Philip's Review:

Rich and emollient. A nice mineral finish. Very good and complex with great minerality. Finishes on red apples and lemon notes. My #2 of the tasting (of 6 chardonnay's).

Philip's Review:

Delicate lemony nose with hints of honeysuckle. Well balanced with great flavors of tropical fruits and a nice long fruity finish. Excellent and my pick of the tasting (6 chardonnay's). Very fruity for a Macon Village.

Philip's Review:

Surprisingly grassy nose for a chardonnay, with hay and green apple aromas. Great mouthfeel, this is a voluptuous wine thats rich and smooth. Full of fat tropical fruit flavors. Slightly lacking in acidity, the wine comes across a little rich and flabby. Finishes on peaches and mango.

Philip's Review:

Peaches and quince on the nose with a hoppy/yeasty twinge of linolium (have a feeling that this will subside over time). A little CO2 gives it a spritz on the tongue and keeps the wine lively and fresh. Its simple, yet very drinkable with a short finish. Overall simple, but a crowd pleaser.

Philip's Review:

Very yellow and extracted with a pungent chemical nose similar to burned buttered popcorn. Overly oaky and extracted, with a short finish and fruit that was masked by the oak. While it was better in taste than it was in smell, its not my style of wine at all.

Philip's Review:

Peaches and melons on the nose, along with some of the oak. In the mouth the wine offers green apples, pineapple and apricots. Good acidity and a nice rich mouthfeel. Has a short citrus finish and some sharp tannins which lowered my score. Good for $13 though.

Philip's Review:

A good solid wine. Well priced and with consistently good fruit and medium tannins. There's a reason why the company was sold for over $1bn.

Philip's Review:

Plain on the nose, with some cedar scents. Nice bright strawberry and white pepper notes in the mouth, however it's simple. Finishes on nutmeg. Volatile acidity.

Philip's Review:

Nice raspberry nose which leads to a cool crisp mineral wine. Flavors of bramble and raspberry continue to the cinammon finish

Philip's Review:

Grapefruit and citrus on the nose. Very nicely balanced with lively acidity, good oak and a clean minerality. Very nice and worked well with mushroom soup.
