October 1, 2015 - Great chardonnay.
Minimal oak, with a great mix of mineral, flint, pineapple, peach, and apricot.
This is very well balanced and sports a long and complex finish.
Well done.
Very enjoyable... I just kept on sipping! -

July 5, 2014 - Well done, but middle-of-the-road for a "good Chardonnay." Everything pleasing, balanced, rounded, but didn't stand out in any way. Wish it was $20 rather than $35 or $40.

May 24, 2014 - Tropical fruit, peach, and a bit of pineapple framed by a good backbone of acidity and moderate oak. This is nice, but a relatively mediocre value at ~$30.

April 12, 2014 - Spring 2014 Wine Dinner: Crisp wine that paired very well with a Sushi grade tuna salsa. It was voted the wine of the flight by the group.

March 11, 2014 - A nice wine that drank well over 2 days. Not overly complex with a lighter mouth-feel, but very nice fruit and a clean crisp finish
