Soft leaking cork but wine surprisingly okay. Light yellow, pretty nose of honeysuckle, mineral and lemon. Light oak and vanilla, lemon curd, pineapple and tropical fruits.

Medium + nose of butter, toast, crushed rock, white flowers, vanilla, peach, lemon peel, nectarine. Medium acid, medium body, medium + intensity, long, mineral finish. Improved in last 3-4 years.

Very nice drinking, but too smooth and not complex, but there is power and unfortunately lots of banana and vanilla apart from the nice acidity with peach and grapefruit. 91-92

This is a great wine. It has everything you want in a Chardonnay. I think Russian River does Chardonnay as good as anything in the US. We had this to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday and my daughter's 22nd birthday. It paired great with slow roasted BBQ chicken, rice and broccoli. Yummy stuff.

Pop and pour. In the glass, clear pale-medium gold. On the nose, equal parts peach and smoky wood. On the palate, peach, tart orange, honeysuckle, and oak, with a long and relatively tannic finish. The question is going to be whether there is enough fruit to stave off the tannins over the next few years, but I'd bet yes. In the meantime, this is just the thing with an assertive, spicy seafood dish.

Judgement of Singapore - Chardonnay Edition (Home): Biscuit, Brioche, peach, pineapple. ruby grapefruit. Can be very distinctly broken down into attack, mid-palate, and finish. Strong minerality. Very good.

Nose of green apple, nectarine, crushed rock, lemon peel, bolder on the palate than the nose. Hints of bubble gum, massive minerality on the palate, medium acid, medium length dry finish. This is quite unique - complex but not subtle, thought provoking but very easy to drink.

The wine looks straw colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like honeysuckle, stoniness, light toast, honeydew, lemon and apple blossom. It tastes like lemon, apple and peach. The body is light/medium. The wine has silky texture and the finish is long. The wine has medium plus acidity. Drinking excellently right now - gotta be peaking.

See note from EWSDS, they nailed the description of this wine. Super pleasing and incredibly balanced, great with food or on its own.

Nicely balanced oakiness, fruits and acidity. Long finish.

Delicious stone fruits with a bit of lemon and apricot. Very well balanced, with deft oak use, and an excellent finish. Really fantastic.
