esbrown reviewed Trefethen Oak Knoll Estate Chardonnay 2003 on December 27, 2005

A lovely golden color fills the glass. The nose is filled with fat pears and baked apricots, along with red delicious apples, coconut milk, vanilla, toast and the cinnamon smell found in dark chocolate. The palate is similar, and cetainly plush and silky, but also with more acidity than expected. Baked peaches, more of the tropical fruits, and a nice chalky feel that may not be Chablis but certainly is terroir. Savory herbs lead to a long and smoky finish.
