The floral quality is gone from the nose. Left is a mineral quality with a bit of fruit, perhaps peach. On the palate, the acidity is more pronounced but still well within bounds. Perhaps its even more food friendly. Still crisp and not tasting over the hill in any way. Some lemony notes on the finish. I would drink these up though in the next year or two as the fruit is fading a bit. Of course, it depends on what you like. |

4/3/2013 - austinbeeman- austinbeeman.com Likes this wine: 90 pointsA tropical and exotic Chardonnay and it's a pretty exciting thing to find interest in a Napa Valley Chardonnay these days. Pear, mineral, toffee, Central America fruit stands with a touch of oak and enough acidity make it all worthwhile. |

No tannin. Medium finish. Perfectly drinkable. Cannot estimate bottle life, but, should go several more years. |

9/29/2012 - Loren Sonkin wrote: 91 pointsCharity Dinner (Rhys, Corra, Clerc Milon +++): Light golden in color. The nose has strong aromatics. A floral note, honeysuckle? Also some minerals and slight wax notes. Crisp and clean. Showing some complexity as it has shed some fruit, not all but developed some layering. Very nice. |

6/20/2012 - bg3034 Likes this wine: 92 pointsWow, loved this wine. Peaches, minerals, light fruit scents on the nose. On the palate, great balance, nice complexity. Lighter fruits, minerality, decent acidity, nice long finish. Wonderful by itself. As others have said, becomes a bit more expressive as it starts to warm in the glass. Unfortunately, this is the only bottle I have. 92 pts. Aloha! |

9/28/2011 - awilliamson4 wrote: 94 pointsDrank my ast bottle of this last night with a kale salad that has a predominatley lemony dressing. This waxy, viscous white was a perfect compliment to it. This is so good and has so many subtle flavors at work. Definite stone fruit not sure which, a bit of butterscotch, some nice clove spice and some minerality at play. There is another note that I think is spot on that this wine gets better as it comes up to room temperature. One of my favorite whites of the year. |
