Community Tasting Notes 10

  March 28, 2024 - 5th of 8 bottles, enjoyed this bottle at home as we were cooking family dinner.
  "Goes down easy", said my father. This pretty, delicious and judiciously flavored Chardonnay is just right.
  Orchard fruits, a hint of citrus and salinity, and a spicy topnote, make it interesting and tasty.
  The acidity is ample for a clean yet slightly luxurious finish. Drink through 2028+.

  March 24, 2024 - 4th of 8 bottles. Enjoyed at the end of a beach trip, while cleaning the house.
  Apples and lemon tarts, with quinine, salt and ginger.
  Nice acidity on the finish. Drink through 2030 or so.

  June 14, 2023 - Pale yellow with green tints. Lemon, cream, wet limestone on the nose. Lemon fruit on the palate, high acids, low alcohol (12%), crisp, almost spritzy texture, nice bite of citrus rind at the back, very long finish. Taut, lean, and delicious.

  November 24, 2022 - Oh yes, this is everything I could ask for from a domestic Chardonnay.
  Must be from "up in the mountains" (Santa Cruz Mtns, that is).
  Red apple, ginger, pear and wet stones, showing a bit of salinity and definition as it winds into the long and brilliant finish.
  Drink this pretty Chardonnay over the next 10 yrs.
