  March 26, 2022 - Medium golden yellow color.
  Aromas of anise, dried apricot, fig and spicy.
  Rich, full-bodied and complex, some bitter, long finish.
  Past peak, but extraordinary oaked chardonnay.

  September 26, 2021 - Kleur: Licht goudgeel. Aroma / bouquet: Rijk en rijp bouquet, rijp geel fruit (citrus, banaan, mango), roomboter, een hint van vanille, boenwas. Heerlijk en verleidelijk. Smaak / Afdronk: Subtiele zuurgraad, briljante vulling met een filmend mondgevoel, dik-sappige wijn met accenten van roomboter, vanille en overrijpe ananas. In alles een duidelijke Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, prachtig in balans, voldoende frisheid en een prachtige balans. Algemeen / potentieel: Prachtige en gebalanceerde nieuwe-wereld Chardonnay. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 93/100

  March 10, 2020 - Gift bottle. Perfect cork and fill. Light gold color. Ripe fruit, buttery, oak and alcohol noticeable, good concentration, a bit heavy, clumsy for me, wife lived it.

  October 26, 2018 - Enjoyed an 06 Three Sisters about six months ago. Wasn't really as interested in this wine as I am with THIS wine. This wine has a very herbal nose. Dried nut, some butter on the entry but not too much. Aged guava. Time has done this one WELL. Finishes rather light for a wine that pours a little bit darker than I was originally comfortable with. VERY much enjoyed tonight. White WOTN without a doubt here. I look for this wine to develop over the next couple of years but I wouldn't give it longer than 5 years left.

  December 24, 2014 - I had this a while back with dinner at the Village Pub. Meant to do a detailed write-up because it was a remarkable bottle of white wine. Maybe the best new world Chard I've had. I don't recall a lot of primary fruit but it was still fat, balanced wine with layers of secondary flavors. I'm lucky to have 1 more bottle.
