May 28, 2023 - Last opened six years ago. Golden color. Crisp chardonnay with citrus and apples in the nose. Citrus, melons, pears and a hint of minerality in the flavor. An elegant rich wine drinking very well right now. Medium to full bodied, well balanced and a medium to long finish.

June 20, 2021 - light golden color, with a nose of citrus and fresh greens; crisp acidity, nicely balanced, intense bright pineapple and citrus flavors with a hint of juniper. Tasted fresh and young for a 9 year old wine.

June 20, 2021 - Light yellow color. Aromas of pear, green apple, saline and minerals. Ripe, focused fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. While delicious, a little more closed and unyielding on the palate than expected. Still very youthful and in prime drinking window.
