Drank as the white alongside Shafer hillside select- and it held up really well by comparison. Very french in style, not super oak or overly done like a lot of california chardonnay. Acid and fruit balance well. great structure and depth.

Whites at Brians: Pop and pour. Shared a bottle with 2 people over a couple hours. This wine is drinking well right now. Tropical fruit all over the place - pineapple, mango, melon, a bit of green apple. In addition there's spice, a little earth, and quite a bit of buttery oak. Almost too much oak. Given the price and that this is "just" an appellation wine, this is an impressive effort.

Real Burgundian feel. Excellent depth of flavour, with lemon, melon and peach. Long finish, and transformation to creamy, smoky flavours at the end. This is a good balance between the structure and minerality of Chassagne, and the lush creany hedonism of California

Still a bit of fruit left but also oxidized. Probably past its prime.
