This was our second bottle of this wine.  As good as it was I don't think it's worth the $77 price (inc tax and shipping).  Not really comparable to Aubert/Kongsgaard/Kistler, more understated and drank more like a Burgundy in a good way.

  • 2003 Littorai Chardonnay The Tributary - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (10/23/2007)
    Medium gold in color; Lots of lemons and minerals on the nose with complex lemon and mineral flavors. It had good balance with a long, aromatic, minerally finish. As jbaron comments in another note it is the anti-Aubert/Kongsgaard. 13.5% alcohol [Drink now or could hold short-term] (92 pts.)

    Thanks for the note WT. I think I have a singleton of this waiting for the right moment. Maybe over the holidays.

    I'd give it one more year. Cellar time has really been improving this wine in my experience.
