Opened with sushi appy and halibut dinner. Pours a lighter golden yellow in glass with light to medium body. Notes of dried apple and honeysuckle and a slight toasty, musty note on the nose. Tart, slightly acidic lighter finish. On the lighter side for a chard. Drinks easy.

Golden yellow in glass on the nose there is a musty mineral forward tone with a hint of green apple. On the palette its light crisp honeysuckle and lavender with pear and apple notes. Medium to light finish and body.

Solid Chardonnay with hints of pear and light citrus on the nose. Subtle minerality on the palette with a crisp yet medium-light finish. Color was pale yellow in glass with medium body. Had with monchong fish dinner, Lahaina grill.

Initially got a lot of oak, which subdued after an hour or so. Peach, lemon, and hay on the nose were the predominant smells, with a little bit of wet clay on the back end.
Lots of salinity and acidity with a nice mouthfeel. Not stunning, but a nice wine.

Chablis style but with CA fruit. No malolactic fermentation, old oak barrels. Clean, bright, crisp but good mouth feel. Fantastic pairing with tuna carpaccio

Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, lemons/limes & pears with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, minerals, stony, spices, a hint of butter, roasted hazelnuts & a hint of vanilla in the background. Medium-light body of a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of tart green apples, lemons/lime & some pineapple, spices, honey, minerals & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but should continue to development further with a few more years of additional aging if stored properly. Very good QPR as well.
