May 2, 2016 - Just a delightful easy drinking wine.
When I told my wife the price paid for the bottle her jaw dropped.
Aromas and flavors of citrus, mushroom, earth, and just the right amount of oak (10% new French).

April 27, 2016 - An oaky Chardonnay but more Chardonnay than oaky and albeit we don't usually like the style the lighter winemaking style here worked and the wine has a nice round feel to it. Light touch of vanilla, light spice on the nose, citrus zest. Will not win miss complexity 2016 but an overall good wine. 89

March 5, 2016 - Robe jaune paille avec légère teinte dorée. Nez peu exubérant au départ sur le citron, et le foin. Dégage à l'aération après quelques minutes des arômes de gâteau à la vanille. En bouche, l'attaque est franche et sur le fruit avec une belle acidité franche. La finale est de longueur moyenne et très agréables sur les fruits tropicaux.Boisé délicat.
Très bon pour le prix. -

August 22, 2015 - slightly less impressed than the previous bottle. 10% new oak but maintains a flinty, mineral profile with notes of lemon peel and olive. strong buy.
