  Courtesy of tlv. Youthful straw yellow color. Banana, pear, quince, nutmeg and jasmine aromas. Full-bodied, layered and rich, withs loads of beautifully ripe orchard fruit with subtle, faint tropical undertones. Long finish. Beautiful. Sonoma chard at peak, though this should hold for a couple of years.

  Another beautiful library bottle. Deep golden color with an explosive nose of butterscotch and butter. Palate was more tropical with a lengthy finish. This did start to decline at about the two hour mark, but only slightly. I have one bottle remaining and will probably open it within the next year.

  This was a library release and I had to try it. Lemon curd and tropical notes. In a nice spot for my tastes.

  This is the last of three bottles we bought at the winery way back in 2012. All three bottles have been stellar, with the last popped just over three years ago. Whoa. A bit golden in the glass with lemon curd and buttered popcorn on the nose. The palate is simply scrumptious with tree fruit, lemon, butter, and just a hint of oak. Yowza. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Light yellow, followed by aromas of butter, vanilla, and butterscotch. Smoothly textured with a bright acidity from being grown in an ocean cooled area. Smoothly textured and plush. Very enjoyable with a wide range of foods. But not as rich and complex as the top tier of Chardonnays from the Sonoma Coast.
