Had high expectations that weren’t achieved. Modest gold color. Big melons, camomile, and hint of lemongrass on the nose. Deep wine but lacking classic Chard/White Burg flavors. Overpriced unfortunately.

Dark yellow color. Needs almost an hour to open up and I would make sure to pair with food. Started at 94 and ended at 97. Popcorn, cream, pears, and subtle apple. Thick and deep with a long finish. Was great!

Very enjoyable. A palate of apricot, melon, peach, a little vanilla and a touch of oak leading a moderately long finish. Paired with Sunday night sushi.

Beautiful golden color. The wine looks yellow gold colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like melon, pear and honeysuckle. It tastes like melon, pear, oak and coconut. The body is light/medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Another blockbuster. Hugely tropical on the nose and the palate. Again - it’s all about balance. Super rich but the acidity is perfect. I could glug this all day.

I thought this was an exceptional Chardonnay. It started off a bit tight, but quickly unfolded to present nice oak accents against lovely and pure fruit. Stone fruit and some apple notes predominate. Just perfect ripeness and definitely left me wanting for the next taste. Good level of acidity that carried throughout.
Stylistically similar to the Ellen Lane. Tart lemon eventually softens adding elements of marzipan, creamy stone fruit, caramel and toasted oak. Acidic and structured but needing 1-2 more years to mellow/soften.

Full-bodied Chardonnay with notes of banana, hazelnut, vanilla, and river rocks. Delicious.

Vibrant gold color, medium weight. Golden apple, honeydew, quince and citrus flavors on a lingering finish.

With Sunday night sushi. A palate of Apricot, peach, a little vanilla and a touch of oak leading a moderately long finish. It was a very good pairing.
