PnP, slightly chilled. Clear, bright intense straw color. Big CA Chard nose. This was delicious. A full bodied wine with intense fruit flavor, citrus, lemon, some oak, vanilla, tart with a long and finish. Tons of acid and freshness. Ideal drinking window, excellent with baked quail. Nothing off. $72 winery direct.

The nose is distinctive: pear, apricots and white pepper. The pallet is nectarines and oranges with a tangy, citrus finish, almost more like lime that lingers. This is one of the most unique Chardonnays I have ever had.

Beautiful golden color in the glass. On the nose, lot’s of mineral it’s with a hint of lemon. In the mouth, more lemon but also a hint of butterscotch as the wine warms in the glass. Lovely finish. Very nice Chardonnay. Still has bottle time left but drinking nicely right now.

Tasty. Needs at least another year to settle and better integrate the 14.5% ABV.

Very nice and lively acidity combined with good saturation and length. Lemongrass and apples. Very nicely balanced.
