April 18, 2024 - Not what I would normally expect for a California Chardonnay. I get clear green apple and a little oakiness, but almost no butteriness. Enjoyed this with pasta and a nice cream sauce. I'd buy it again, especially for the very reasonable price.

August 28, 2022 - Enjoyable, but a little rough- I got an unusual scent in the background that reminded me of sesame seeds, in a weird way. Some very pretty citrus too, and a kiss of gentle oak on the palate with a solid acid line. I got it for a chard-loving friend to blind taste, and he correctly guessed chard, although with a Willamette guess. It's just that odd note on the nose that I couldn't shake- maybe a slight flaw in some way? I agree with the previous commenter that it could be described as grassy, like a less-ripe sauv blanc. I bet other vintages of this have been more dialed-in.
