Deep plum, hint of maple, smooth, delightful wine. The tannis were perfect, with light oak. I was worried that we had missed the drinking window, but well worth the wait. Wish we had another bottle!

Another excellent showing from Lewis. Smooth oak with a hint of butter and asian pear on the finish. There's nothing boring about this great Chardonnay!

One of my favorite years for Artemis! Drinking so well right now. Dark berries and a hint of vanilla. Soft tannins and a medium oak finish.

Very soft out of the bottle. Lots of dark fruit, some light toast and cinnamon.

Fruit on the front, velvety vanilla on the finish.

Great at $26, if we find it for less than $21 we'll jump on a half case.

The wife likes better than I do, she would rate 89-90, I would rate 86-87.

Chocolate on the nose upon opening, smoke on the nose after letting it breathe. I also tasted bitterness on the backend as noted by someone previously.

After letting this wine open up for 30 minutes it was a fantastic every day drinker, especially at $14. Not a lot of tannins, surprisingly soft for such a young wine.

Bitter on the back end, needed decanting. Softened after decanting.
