Took about an hour in decanter to settle in. Between straw and a light gold color, clear and sound, medium legs. Very pure Chardonnay expression with minimal wood influence in the bouquet. Light to medium intensity aroma. Good balance of weight, acidity, and subtle nuttiness on the palate. Long and more generous on the finish with a nice, astringency-free aftertaste. More Meursault than California in style. Should drink well for another year or so. 5+11+17+8 = 91

Still going great, in fact, better than ever. More butterscotch, marshmallow, and nutty bits in the profile with the strong backbone of slate and acidity showing no sign of decay. I haven't had anything more enjoyable for <$25

Really nice representation of american chardonnay. Not too buttery, long finish, small amount of oak.

Randie thought that it was a bit sweet but good.
