Similar notes as previous tastings. Pears and peaches in the nose and flavor and some floral in the nose. Well balanced, nice acidity, medium bodied, and a medium to long finish.

Ripe rich sweet, but balanced. An elixir.

Similar notes as our last tasting around three years ago. Pears and peaches in the nose and flavor and some floral in the nose. It's too bad Varner lost all the vineyards and isn't producing the same Chardonnays any more. Well balanced, nice acidity, medium bodied, and a medium to long finish.

Mature yellow color. Lemon curd, honeysuckle, quince and just the slightest hint of fig in the background. There’s also a hint of beeswax in the background. Lovely bouquet. Medium-bodied, with flavors of pear, fig, melon, dried lemon and quince. Lingering finish. Absolutely delightful and firing on all cylinders right now if this bottle is representative.
