    May 20, 2019 - Golden-straw color. Lemon-Kumquat citrus and minerals on the nose and palate. Silky with good acidity, balance, and long-slightly tart finish. Minerality really improved with cellar aging. Delicious!

    December 1, 2018 - This has all the signs of a great white. Great nose, full of citrus, flowers and stone fruits. On the palate it is ripe, with medium weight and matching acidity. Had I had it by itself, I could've confused it with premier cru Chassagne. We had it next to a Drouhin Folatieres which just knocked it out. Rita's finish is shorter.

    February 16, 2016 - Brought to wine group dinner tonight at Two Chefs. Rich and ripe, very balanced flavors. Touch of oak but not overbearing. One of my favorite Cali chardonnays

    March 20, 2015 - This wine is awesome. Viscous, full bodied with unreal fruit and hint of spice that completes the wine. Very tightly integrated. Hints of apple pie and pear
