This 2016 vintage drunk Sept 2019 at very good restaurant with trout and stuffed artichoke heart. Has good oak that I long for in new Chardonnay, most of which are “deoaked.” A touch of butter and peach with green apple plus touch citrus. I recommend if you are looking for good Chardonnay. Looking to try a newer vintage.

Lingering acid finish. Crisp. Some oak. Not much else though. Not unpleasant but a bit one note. Expected a bit more for the price
