Opened on Feb 5 and finished two nights later. A very interesting Napa chardonnay; a fuller-body than many Napa chardonnays. Still a very enjoyable bottle- soft notes of citrus, caramel and brioche notes are more prominent than the fruit; very consistent through the finish

Really nice wine - had weight without feeling too heavy and no one flavor was overpowering. Sweet and approachable nose with pear and tropical fruit notes. The acidity hits right up front with sweet pineapple notes balanced against caramel, biscuit and spicy ginger. Drinking really well right now.

Light yellow color. Killer nose right off the bat with buttered apple, tropical fruit, vanilla, and toast. More of the same on the palate with a lovely combination of tropical and citrus fruit and oak flavors all working together. Creamy mouthfeel, long finish. This is excellent California chardonnay and was a perfect pairing with lobsters and drawn butter.

Nose: Wow, wonderful aromas of Pear, pineapple, green apple and citrus
palate; Balanced flavors of vanilla, peer and pineapple. Acidity is present in the middle palate and the wine finish with a subtle creamy finish. I did not picked up oak on the palate like others did.

This really is an excellent bottle of chardonnay. Toasted bread, vanilla and citrus on the nose. Superbly balanced flavors of vanilla, pear, pineapple, and oak on the palate. Long rich finish. Sadly this is my only bottle, I was really surprised at just how good this wine tasted.

Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of lemon oil, creme, vanilla and butterscotch. Flavors of yellow pears, yellow apples, creme and butterscotch. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink over the next 3-5+/- years.

Trip to Napa Valley; 1/30/2011-1/31/2011 (Napa, CA): Beautiful nose of white flowers, apricots, and citrus fruits. On the palate, pineapples, citrus fruits, a little nuttiness, honey, creamy mouthfeel, crisp acidity. Lovely effort!

Sad this was my only bottle. Shared it with friends at a tasting and it was the unanimous winner.

Excellent as usual. Sold out at the winery. Guests liked it so much they searched for it online and bought a case.

Butter, granny smith, creme brulee, vanilla and toasted oak. The butter is not overwhelming and it's a well balanced. It's a solid B.

Delicious slightly oaky chardonnay showing vanilla, brioche and a touch of caramel. Not too heavy but beautifully smooth with good acidity throughout.
