Default TN: 2005 Keller Estate Chardonnay 'Playa del Oro'

I bought this wine on the recommendation of Bill Paumen ("Redwinger") on
WLDG. Opened tonight with a dinner of grilled salmon and shrimp ravioli.

nose: pineapple, apricots, minerals, citrus, subtle new oak
palate: creamy, pineapple and minerals, somewhat oaky with good acidity

Bill had compared this wine to a Chablis, knowing my oak-averse
predilections. I can't say that I found it very Chablis-like, but it
did take me back to an earlier era in CA winemaking, when Chardonnays
weren't oaked to the gills and subjected to full ML. In particular, it
reminded me of some mid-'80s Acacia Winery Lake Chardonnays, which is no
small praise. Very enjoyable with the salmon.
