Drinking window showed 2017 but still drinking well now. Golden straw color. Used Coravin for first glass a few weeks ago but opened and finished today. This is a wonderful Chardonnay.

Pear and butter on the nose. Light gold color. Much fuller bodied than expected. Taste of candied apples and peaches with nice minerality on the finish. Excellent buy at $20 price.

Assyrtiko is one of my favorites since my 2010 trip to Santorini and a wine tour. Beautiful pale gold color. Minerals and light fruit flavors. I will drink this over most lighter whites. Still a good value at this price.

Beautiful nose. Black cherry. Still developing but nice drinking now. Drank without food and the tannins were there but still smooth enough to just have a glass.

Light golden color. Some acidity. Creamy nose with caramel apple. Some butter and lemon custard on the palate. Not a lot of complexity but easy drinking and not heavy at all. Nice for Houston summer nights.

This is excellent. Wonderful nose. plenty of fruit and just the right tannins. Worked well with my steak. For the money, this is as good as it gets and beats many wines costing much more.

Wonderful Cabernet nose. Very smooth on the tongue. Tannins are there but not overpowering. Raspberries and cherries on the palate. I think this is the time to drink this wine. Still excellent but i don't believe it is getting better.

Very light color but still very good taste. Strawberries on the palate. Fruity and light. The nose is smokey. Charcoal and light tannins on the finish. I want to see if I can buy some more of this and save it for a few years. Good now though.

This wine is drinking well now but should benefit from some more aging. Wonderful bouquet if you decant and give it some time to open. Black currant and fairly supple tannins.
