From Magnum. Pretty nose showing acacia flowers, pear, and slight vanilla. Nice delicate round apple fruit flavors with solid core of minerality. Very much a Burgundian style with a creamy texture. In a very nice place and drinking well. Not profound, but a very solid enjoyable wine. Far from being an buttery overblown Cali Chard.

This is a bit more oxidized than the last bottle I drank a year ago, though still pleasant. If you have any left, drink up soon. The nose shows a lot of golden apple along with some flowers and a touch of heat. The palate has notes of golden apple & pear with a bit of acid, though not as acidic as last time & not as much minerality. Still an enjoyable wine just not quite as complex as the bottle I drank last year.

Terrific, balanced California Chardonnay, with little to no oak nuance. A pleasure.

Very good chardonnay. Buttery, but not too much oak that characterizes a lot of CA chardonnays.

Sleek and minerally, with citrus and crisp pear notes. Drank with Quebec cheeses. Very nice.
