Very smooth Chardonnay. I'm partial to unoaked Chardonnays, and the once I looked at John Szabo's review I understood why this Chardonnay stood out so much for me. Aging in 25% stainless steel was obvious over other Chardonnays, making the green apple notes jump out. One of the smoothest and nicest Napa Chardonnays I've tried. Tasted February 2015.
