1. The Wishing Tree Unoaked Chardonnay Western Australia 2005–very prominent aromas and flavors. Has undergone some malolactic fermentation to create a creamy mouthfeel. Solid B.
2. Bouchard Père et Fils Pouilly-Fuissé 2004–subtle aromas and flavors, with a hint of oak treatment. Has undergone partial ML, less of a creamy mouthfeel. B+/A-
3. Pine and Post Chardonnay Washington 2005–aromas of rosemary, perhaps some pine needles as well. Similar in style to the Bouchard, just not quite as nice. B
4. St. Francis Chardonnay Sonoma County 2005–massive oak aromas and flavors, very creamy mouthfeel with the ML. B+ for achieving the desired style of the winemaker, but not my preferred style of Chardonnay.
