May 24, 2021 - Was a little concerned that this may have cellared too long. Popped it on a warm evening and was happily surprised with the results. Golden straw in color, viscous in the glass with a nose of dandelion and ripe pear. Overall a pleasant surprise and easy on the pallate.

October 27, 2018 - Clear bright straw color. Ripe pear and a little green apple on the nose. Same plus a little tropical note on the palate, maybe passionfruit. A hint of citrus. Sweet with some tartness/acidity. Finish is long, but a little rough and off balanced on the tail end. Might be past its prime. Still a lively unoaked chardonnay.

August 19, 2017 - Served with chicken kiev, roast cauliflower, salad.
Clear light yellow/gold.
Citrus nose (grapefruit), peach, and pear.
Fruit nose follows through to the palate, nice acid, medium weight, smooth and well balanced. Still lively. -
