October 8, 2016 - Picked up a few bottles when the winery re-released the wine this past spring. This is my second bottle tasted. Beautiful yellow, gold color. Nice chardonnay nose. Very soft in the mouth. Still has delicious chardonnay fruit. Has aged very well.

March 29, 2013 - Color slightly orange, perhaps oxidized? Creamy and minerally, with little in the way of freshness or fruit or zest. Somewhat unctuous, almost linoleum. Did not enjoy so much.

December 19, 2012 - Still one of my favorite chardonnays. A brisk, tart attack (think lemon candies) gives way to a full, rich midpalate. The oak here adds spice and complexity without taking anything away from its bracing, sharp fruit. A wonderful expression of what CA chardonnay can be at its best. Wonderful on its own but also a very food-friendly wine. Drinking beautifully now but drink soon. I fear too much more time will result in flabbiness rather than additional complexity or depth.

October 3, 2012 - Light golden in color, there were excessive aromas of oak on the initial bouquet. Notes of creme brûlée, apple pie, and vanilla dominate the bouquet and the palate. I think this unfortunately masks most of the varietal character and the fruit notes do not come through well. Overall fairly disappointing, but will be appealing to those who like new oak with chardonnay.
