A good but not great chardonnay from Landmark that may be a little past its prime. This was a little oakier than I remember from other vintages of the same wine. Because of that, it’s not exactly my style, but a reasonably good wine nevertheless. The grapes are a blend from Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara Counties in California. Not surprisingly, it tastes a little on the generic California chardonnay side. It is crisp with some citrus, tropical and apple flavors on the nose and palate, with a decent kick of alcohol and a fairly bitter finish. Not as buttery as I expected, based on other Landmark efforts that I’ve had. It paired nicely with the salty, lemon base of the chicken piccata. It's a good value at $16...maybe not so good at $25, which is what I seem to remember paying for it at some time in the past.
