Brief decant. Golden yellow color. Palate consistent with other notes, but there's now a mild oxidative note on the finish that was not there two years ago. Still excellent, but time to drink up.

Delightful. Subtle notes of tropical fruit with a nice backbone of acids and minerality. Not overdone like most California Chards. Holding up well eight years out. Very nice.

Pop and pour. In the glass, medium to dark gold and clear. On the nose, citrus fruit and oak. On the palate, somewhere between silky and viscous, with a leading note of butterscotch and secondary notes of dried apricot, honeydew, and minerality, on a medium-long finish. Bold and assertive, but it works for this wine. If you have any, now's the time to check in.

One of my favorite california chardonnays. Incredible complexity with layers of citrus, apricot and honey with nice minerality and well-integrated oak.

Very nice. Green apple, citrus, jasmine, vanilla, melon, maybe even a bit herbaceous. More Burgundian than most CA chards I've had.
