May 6, 2016 - Zesty Chardonnay that doesn't overdo the oak. Pungent nose, refreshing palate, good at $13. Would buy again.

February 19, 2016 - No notes, but this was a refreshing, balanced ripe Chardonnay, that I would definitely buy again at $13 a bottle.

June 23, 2015 - Very similar to last notes on 4/30/14 but the acids are much more folded in and the wine is balanced. Still 89-90 points.

June 19, 2015 - Fun bottle, a simpler Chard, which I prefer. Very pale gold, pear and quince, hint of lemongrass, white pepper. Moderate finish, slightly bracing, not overly so acidity, very nice with a variety of small plates. 88/B = 50/4/11/8/8/7
