As always, my reviews are done with the price of the wine playing an active role in my impression of drink ability. When compared to a Kistler Chardonnay, this bottle is not an 88, but in the context of the price, it probably should be higher.
Had this with a roasted branzino and asparagus on the grill. Not much citrus but plum, sweet peaches and a refreshing finish of fresh white grapes. A somewhat sweeter finish but complex enough to keep you interested even after the meal.

I enjoyed the first few bottles of this much more than my last bottle tonight. Good balance and pairs well with roasted chicken. Drink up as I think this has probably seen better days.

Elegant and balanced wine. Hints of prunes and very ripe plums. Good at opening and great after opening up for an hour. Will get a few more bottles.
