Bought this for my Cakebread-loving friend's birthday a few years ago and she saved it and brought it to our beach weekend. Much more acid than I expected and a really nice peppery finish (a very carneros signature).

The perfect pairing to our crawfish and shrimp pastalya. Apple, pear, and butterscotch notes. A seriously fantastic Chardonnay. I never get tired of, Cakebread wines ๐๐

I was worried I left it too long, but the Cakebread website said it would improve with 5-8 years in the bottle. They were right, the oak was soft, very easy to drink. Purchased from the winery in June 2014.

Drinking well. Nice mix of butter and oak, with just a hint of acidity left. Drink now.

This is my favorite Chard. It is a reserve in every since of the word. No one else is allowed to drink it but me and one other. Hence, the NO on the label.
