Ripe orchard fruit with a robust green herbaceous note and some smokiness. Quite a bit of fat on the middle palate, but no oak. Broad, structured, powerful, but the herbal bitterness gives everything a lift.

A bit of a heavy touch on the fruit here - I understand this was not aged in oak but there is a undercurrent of richness that swings this too far into "heavy" territory for me. Needs some crispness and freshness to show the fruit at its best. Not a repeat for me. Much much better chablis available for less dough,
Very nice varietal expression that shows some elegance and balance. There is plenty of ripe citrus fruit here, particularly preserved lemon, with nice herbaceousnes and some saline-like mineral notes. Not unlike a very ripe Chablis. Good length and gaining some definition.

Nice crisp unoaked Chardonnay with tropical fruit and brisk acidity. Modest concentration. Well made
