July 1, 2020 - Nice big Chardonnay with notes of butter/saline and a full palate and enough acidity to balance.

December 12, 2019 - Bright, crisp Chardonnay with nice complexity. Notes of lemon, apple and orange peel with a subtle citrus finish. Finish lingers with good acidity. Very well made.

June 22, 2019 - Beautiful wine. Perfect balance of freshness, acidity and richness. Lemon squares, almond cake and flowers. Clear color despite lots of crystal sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

August 27, 2018 - Delicious! Nose of orange peel and almonds. Oak is balanced by a nice spine of acidity. A big round mouthfeel and long lingering finish.

January 7, 2018 - Pop and pour. Moderate acid but still enough bite to benefit from another years time. Not a whole to of oak influence here but still plush (not opulent). Creamy melon and lemon are up front with some obvious sweet floral character and minerality poking through. To me this is not drinking as well as the 2015 Sonoma Coast and feels that many qualities are in hibernation. Give it a year or 2.
