(15.2% alcohol): Sexy aromas of crystallized lemon peel, iodine and vanillin, coconutty oak. Lush, fat and seamless, with compelling sweetness but also a firming mineral edge to the apricot fruit. The iodiney quality recurs on the back end, giving the broad finish a distinctly savory quality. For all its impression of sweet fruit, this wine is bone-dry.

Outstanding complexity and nuances. In the top three Chardonnays from Calif we've tasted this year. Pricy but worth it for a special occasion wine.

Certain producers have talent. Morlet is at the top!
I opened 1 bottle because I could not wait. I am thrilled I jumped in and bought 2 packs.
The wine eludes the sexy rich mouth watering taste that goes on and on. The wine gets better as you let it sit and open up. If by some chance you get another opportunity to buy...don't hesitate.

This is a comfort wine that reminded me of pancakes with plenty of maple syrup and butter. For me that's a good thing; however, I was a little thrown off by the word "Burgundian" on the back of the bottle description, so I was expecting maybe a little more acid and restraint. Unlike Robert Parker, I tasted quite a lot of oak. Very nice chardonnay, nonetheless. I probably would have given 5 stars if the wine were at a lower price point.

Yeah the usual suspects are all there - citrus, honeysuckle, etc. There is definitely more than a hint of oak, nothing subtle about it. I had high expectations for this wine and had been looking forward to it. It just didn't live up to my expectations.
