PnP. Opens with aromas of apples, peaches, melon, floral, and pineapple. Flavors of apple, peach, melon, minerality, and a hint of oak. Good acidity with a medium finish.

Very light at first. Nearly disappointing. On second taste, was more pleasant with notes of pear, green apple and citrus. Not my favourite, but drinks easily.

PnP. Aromas of apples, peaches, melon, floral, pineapple, and melon. Similar flavors with apple, peach, melon, minerality, and a hint of oak. Not a buttery style. Good acidity in a medium finish.

Clean, crisp, not too oaky, good blast of acid, brioche, apple, lemon curd. Not long on the palate but overall very pleasant. Went well with fish tacos.

Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, lemons/limes & grapefruit with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle with spices, honey, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium body with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured of ripe fruit flavors of green apples, lemons/limes & grapefruit, with minerals, spices, some butterscotch & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Appears to be readily accessible in its youth although it may develop further with additional aging.

The only wine tasted that was not estate grown. Butter notes are not predominant, which is not very Napa Valley-like (but I prefer it more subtle). Acidity cuts through in a good way.

Didn't realize this was still in the cellar. Aromas and flavors of apricot, citrus, melon and apple, pineapple. Good acidity. smooth finish. Much better than expected. Drink up.

Virtually no nose. Maybe a slight wiff of peach and wood.
In mouth the wine is dominated by pineapple notes. The flavors are sharp and acidic initially and only mildly soothed at mid palette. In the finish the flavors are clearly remaining sweetish with enough acidity to launch a rocket.
The wine is well produced and meant to benefit from some bottle time. Tonight the wine is green and not meant to be consumed like this. Really lively fruit. It is kind of like tasting a slightly unripened fruit that has that acidic gusto to prove that in a week it will so sweet. Worth waiting about 1-2 years.

CA style nose, palate matches but has a lean streak in there, mineral tones among the usual popcorn, vanilla layers. Nice style.

Tasted at winery. Cool and perfumed white orchard fruit with flowers, not heavily oaked. Long finish. Nice, fairly restrained style of Chardonnay.

Pineapple, green tea, crisp. Reminds of a SB in a way. Nice wine. Not a typical Cali Chard. Four of us enjoyed.

I reiterate my November 2 2020 notes. No changes tonight as the wine is similar.
