(6/15/2017) "Showing subtlety and finesse, this is understated in every aspect, from the delicate white peach, nectarine and light honeydew melon flavors to the dash of spicy oak. An alluring wine that gains depth with each sip. Drink now through 2021. 5,000 cases made."

(1/31/2019) "Incorporating 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Merlot is made from the same cloth and has a sweetly fruited, charming, delicious style as well as lots of red and black currants, black cherry, graphite, and chocolaty herb aromas and flavors. It's a sexy, delicious effort to drink over the coming 4-6 years."

Finishes with light oak and toast notes on the creamy palate. (California)

Wine Enthusiast
(11/1/2016) "Aromas like cinnamon, cedar and sweet cherries lead to concentrated, lively flavors with tangy cherry and rhubarb notes. Relatively full bodied, the wine has a smooth, mouthfilling texture and a lingering finish that echoes the delicious fruit elements."

Bouchaine "Estate Vineyard" Carneros Napa Valley Chardonnay 2015
Chris Kajani recently replaced longtime winemaker Michael Richmond at Bouchaine and she is already making her mark! Toasty and butterscotchy with a big mouth presence, this is a very well made bottle of Chardonnay. Wine Spectator lists it at $30. As usual, you'll pay less at Vin Chicago!

Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay 2016
Latest release of this all-time classic California Chardonnay!
Winemaker's Notes
"Enticing aromas of vanilla, melon and mango are layered with apricot, creme brulee, butter and a slight minerality. Those scents are echoed as flavors on the creamy, rich palate, along with peach, pie crust and baking spices. The long, smooth finish is marked by mouthwatering acidity."
