A nicely layered Chardonnay with plenty of flavour, but this version of Willms lacks the bracing acidity needed to pull it off the California ledge: butterscotch, vanilla and rich pineapple at the core, there's even some cedar notes - there's even some mango, guava, spiced-tangerine and subtle mineral notes, but that rich round mouthfeel overtakes everything. Price: $44.95 - Rating: *** ½
