June 8, 2023 - Breathtakingly and unexpectedly delicious. For any CA chardonnay, especially with this age, had unique energy and lift.

September 5, 2021 - Mature, but maybe not fully. I would watch it closely, as it may begin to decline in a few years. Silky, rich, fresh, toasty, nutty, long and golden. Just lovely.

June 4, 2021 - Simply spectacular! Medium body, very floral, earthy, amazing balance and refined finish. A Cali Chard made in a French style.

July 7, 2020 - Had on consecutive nights the 2018 estate, 2017 Monte Bello and the 2010 Monte Bello.
Had with salmon. Nice honey color. Round mouth feel. Coated well. Minerality. Fruit flavors. Could hold longer but drinking well. What I like. Not Napa tasting. Balanced. Acid. Good friendly.
