September 24, 2023 - Really nice Chardonnay. Not your typical chard, crisper fruit almost like a small about of gewurztraminer

August 26, 2021 - Completely consistent with previous note. This chardonnay is Californian in style. Well-oaked with butterscotch, tropical fruits and just enough acidity to keep it from being over the top.

July 5, 2021 - Like, you know when you’ve had a Cali chard and thought, I wish that hadn’t been quite so heavy or sweet or tasting of alcohol, because these honeycomb and white flower and buttery tropical fruits appeal to me? Well, here you go. Priced a bit nicer this would be an everyday chard for a lot of people.
