Similar to my prior tasting note. Paired great with seared scallops with beurre blanc toasted pine nuts on a bed of yukon mashers. More creamy than crisp. Wish it had a touch more acidity. Drink in the next three years.

Pale yellow. Citrus, stone fruits, peach, white flowers, cream and minerality. Quite complex and layered. Malolactic had dulled the acidity which made the wine soft.

This is a richer new world style of Chardonnay and is very different stylistically from their Estate Chard. Full of tropical fruit, round and full mouthfeel. At its best when served > 45 degrees so let it sit on the counter for a while after removing it from the fridge.

Golden straw. This is quite rich and substantial — and yet it’s balanced, with decent acidity, and not excessive/ overdone. Very enjoyable over three nights.

Still young and tight. But we couldn’t keep our hands off it. Went perfectly with our smoked mozzarella, prosciutto and basil pasta, especially once it opened in the glass. Elegant tangerines, peaches, lemon zest and brioche on the palate with a toasty citrus finish. The published reviews on this (high 80s/low 90s) don’t do this justice. It’s beautiful. Drink 2023 to 2028. Outstanding.

This is a terrific Chardonnay. Ready to drink now (2023) but it will age nicely for the next 3-5 years.

A rich, oaky, buttery style. Notes of lemon curd, and with enough juiciness to cut some of the richness.
