Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Winemaker Josh Jensen has been at this for quite some time (the label says this is the 35th anniversary vintage) and no doubt has reliably outstanding sources for the grapes that don’t grow on his Mt. Harlan estate. How else to explain the remarkably (and consistently) high quality of Calera’s “Central Coast” chardonnay? This vintage has a little something for everyone, with a creamy palate, lovely aromas of lemon custard and ripe pear, and a long, lingering finish that begs another sip. Score: 90 Source: Robert Whitely, whitleyonwine.com

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
