  May 11, 2024 - This wine punches quite well above its price point - it's hard to pick any specific flaws with this wine. It's got great acidity and isn't over-oaked in any sense at all, and you don't really notice the 14.4% alcohol. Quite a bright and well-balanced wine overall.

  April 28, 2024 - This was our first bottle of the ‘22. We’ve loved prior vintages and this was no exception. The nose is a bit shy, focusing on citrus and cream. But it explodes onto the palate with a spicy butterscotch and lingering acidity that persists through the long nutty finish. As I’ve written before about this wine, I don’t love overly oaked Cali butter bomb Chardonnays. But whatever they are doing here is perfectly balanced and beautifully complex. Remains my go-to favorite Chard that’s reasonably priced and widely available. I’m scoring it just a hair lower than last year because the fruit seems a bit muted and I don’t get the bready notes. But that may just be a bottle aging issue and I’ll update at the next tasting.
