March 10, 2018 - I love older wines. This one being no different as muted notes of peach, raspberry and some dried mango define this wine. Probably past but still peek tasting but I happen to like this.
May 14, 2017 - 10 yr old Chardonnay lost a little of its nose and fruit but still good color and interesting notes. Almost a nutty quality with pear and pineapple.
December 20, 2015 - This was showing too much wood tonight. Notes of hazelnuts, pineapple, green mango, and lemon curd. Glycerinous texture but decent acid.
May 18, 2015 - This is rich, ripe and intense without fat or flatulence. Complex, multi fruited and satisfying with enough acidity to complement or cut through most meals or enjoyed on its own. The oak is well integrated and unobtrusive. Enjoyed with fresh Alaskan halibut one night and Alaskan Sockeye the next.
December 29, 2014 - GONE
July 8, 2014 - What a beautiful wine. Clear, clean, golden, with perfect crispness for a summer evening dinner. We loved it.
February 25, 2014 - Served with Cream of Cauliflower soup with a kick of cayenne. This Chard held up well. Very crisp, not buttery. Lot's of apple, pear, etc.
December 22, 2013 - Another journey in paradise
August 31, 2013 - This contiues to add weight with time in the bottle. Still gold, gradually showing some age, and tropical with pear and pineapple. Oak is seemlessly intergated. A wine to be slowly sipped at this point.
November 27, 2012 - Not much to add to some very good notes. I think it has the structure to go quite a few more years, and will likely lose that slight burn on the finish. In my view this wine does not consistently deliver from vintage to vintage, but the 2007 is definitely a winner.
