The wine looks greenish gold colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom, mineral, lemon, lime, oak and cut green grass. It tastes like pineapple, bell pepper, grapefruit, vanilla, oak, cream, and cut green grass. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

This was awesome. Exactly my style. Well balanced between butter, nuts and fruit, acidity. Many years left in this. Not sure why scores aren’t higher, but they’ll come around. These Chards need age so give at least 5yrs.

I needed some white wine for cooking so I used a half bottle and had a glass. I cannot see how Vinous gave it a 93. It is nice, perhaps, everyday chardonnay. Nothing special at all. The palate is light, with hints of citrus and flowers. Perhaps I am just spoiled by Hobbs, Peter Michael and Aubert.

Honeysuckle yellow hue and ice water clear, the nose is funky with hint of barn straw and wet rock. The texture is creamy and well incorporated for a 2018. It drinks like a more mature wine. It’s rich on the palate offering some fresh cut white peach and honey drizzle. The longer you sip it the more it evolves in the glass. It will be a great crowd pleaser and should pair well with foods and soft cheese or on it’s own. Fire up some Carole King, pop the cork and enjoy.

It was a hit with the group of 4 who drank it. No one detected oak on the wine - we were sure it was unbaked as it didn't have that buttery characteristic so common with California chards.

PnP. Pineapple, apple, lemon, peach, pear, citrus aromas. The acid is lower than earlier bottles. Pineapple, apple, peach, lemon, pear flavors. Very light oak, medium finish.

Pretty good Chardonnay, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
