| COMMENTS: |
Slightly better than the Sonoma bottling, the Carneros Chardonnay from BV is tighter with more citrus and lemon characteristics. There is no mistaking that this is a California Chardonnay, however, as the wine still has that rich butteryness to it.

| COMMENTS: |
The Carneros Chard from BV is a simple quaffer, but you can probably find a similar Chard for less money. It initially opens up with cream and melon aromas, but its flavors run through additional components of oak, apricot and earth. A good food wine that paired nicely with seafood.
