March 22, 2023 - Wow. This has really held up well! Stored in climate controlled environment. Popped & poured. Fruit is still there; but fading after open (~20 mins). A little heavy on the oak for me; but all in balance with a crisp/acid bite. Lovely finish. Don't wait any long; drink'em up! You can taste the age, but not sure it has much left in it (i.e. just fade faster from here). Best surprise of my 2023 so far.

February 24, 2023 - 8 old, 5 years in natural cave. Excellent and wonderful californian chardonnay . Silky and very well balanced wine. Buttery taste but mot too much, combined with pear and melon. Rich in alcohol but smooth taste, just perfect for my wife !!!
Excellent with canadian smoked salmon.
I should ordered a full case. !!!
Enjoy -

August 21, 2020 - A pleasant surprise on a Friday night! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought this bottle but it delivered. The nose is very light with a little oak and citrus. The initial taste is so light but has a nice citrus start and a little oak kick. The middle was a little lighten the citrus kind of tons down and it kick more oak and some acid. It finishes with such so strong with so much oak and a nice silky texture.
