  August 17, 2015 - Bright straw color, muted nose, palate of grapefruit, oak, green apples and lemon. Opens up after an hour and integrates with a reasonably good finish but a bit overpriced.

  April 7, 2015 - White Burgundy lovers need not apply. This wine is not for you. However, if you like a rich, full bodied, creamy, oaky, tropical fruit explosion that is to be expected from a new world style California Chardonnay, then buy a case if you can find it. My wife loved it and she rarely says that about wine. There is a lot going on with this wine, but some purists might say it is over the top. As for me, I actually enjoyed it while we ate lunch at Chanson Restaurant sitting outside of the Royal Blues hotel in Deerfield Beach, FL.

  December 25, 2014 - Really disappointed with this wine given its high price point. I generally like unoaked Chardonay but this wine is just horrible and awkward. Nose has light citrus and wet stone. In the mouth it falls apart with notes of grapefruit and really nothing else. Finishes way too hot for a Chardonay. I feel ripped off even at the $20 that I paid for this wine.
