  December 30, 2015 - From memory. Gold color. Nice aromas of apples, honeywax, herbs. Palate showed slightly honeyed apples, unripe pears, herbs, nuts. Very good acids give it lift. Elegant, seamless and beautiful. Just really nice. A phenomenal bargain at $15. Wish I would have bought more.

  February 21, 2011 - 13.9% alcohol. In a funny place right now. Evolved yellow color. Muted bouquet of oak and apple. In the mouth, tasting oxidized. Not sure what was up with this bottle, but it was different from the previous. It didn't seem to be flawed, but certainly head-scratching. NR

  November 28, 2010 - Lovely pale yellow color. Muted nose of apple, pear, and pineapple. Palate is loaded with tart apple, lemon/lime zest and a great mineral streak. Just a really nice extremely pure Chard. Excellent!

  September 16, 2009 - 13.9% alcohol. Light yellow color. Initially a bit of oak on the nose, which blew off to incorporate apple, pear, and lemon zest notes, along with minerals. In the mouth, a gorgeously pure and balanced Chardonnay that shows power without being weighty. Full of slightly green-tinged apple, pear, and a slight citrus streak. Good acidity. Long finish that was most impressive. Youthful. Needs a couple more years. But delicious. A-
