2004 Yellow Tail Chardonnay

[Thomas]

Thraz,

You are correct. We always tell people drink what you like, and if people like oak then they should seek oak.

My concern is with honesty. If the consumer does not know how the wine is produced, it's only a small step before the producer can start justifying price increases because of the cost of "oak," which stated that way would lead consumers to believe the producer means barrels when in fact the producer means powder probably gleaned from used up barrels. When a tea bag treated wine is labeled as "oak finished," it is both a true and a misleading piece of information.
