January 30, 2024 - One of the most solid CA Chardonnays that almost no one knows about. Killer for $39/bottle.

July 12, 2023 - See previous notes for more detail - but this Chardonnay is just beautiful. Not a typical Napa can that is oak and butter. This is crisp, mouth watering, and delicious. Golden color, maybe some lemon on the nose, bright acidity, with a lot of room to age over the next 5-10 years at least. Lovely wine.
