  Still at its peak, generosity of the fruit dominated by Meyer lemon and apricot in total harmony with fully supporting and refreshing acidity. Spices, white flowers and green tea echoing long finish with salted butter discreet notes. To me, this is what Cali Chard taste like.

  I really enjoyed this. Getting towards the end of if it's prime in my eyes - maybe 2-3 years left and really quite nice. A lot of apple and some meyer lemon.

  Beautiful wine. Intense, without being heavy. In fact, it's quite light with an airy, almost heavenly quality. If I had to choose one word to describe this wine - "Pure" . Just the right combination of everything - Acid, structure, fruit, weight. Only a tad bit of tertiary characteristics for a chardonnay of this age.
