Golden in color. 14.5% ABV. Exotic nose of tropical fruits, vanilla creme brulee and nutmeg. Big, bold and voluptuous. Pear, pineapple, Meyer Lemon and minerals on the palate. The finish is long and supple. Tremendous Chardonnay that absolutely shined on a warm winter night in Palm Springs. Best over the next 1-2 years.

Cork crumbled. Ugh. Delicious fuller bodied Chardonnay that is starting to show its age. Purchased at auction so it may not have been stored properly. But based on this bottle, it is time to drink up.

It’s hard to find a better Chardonnay than this one – obtained from a collector in Vancouver. (Many thanks!)
Citrus-kissed saltiness lies at the center of this incredibly delicious, deliriously good wine.
Beautifully crisp, with just the right amount of oak - it lingers in stony minerality & a freshness of apricot.
Memorable from first sip to last – distinctly rich but graceful… finishes with superb grip.

An outstanding wine. Notes of peach on the palate. Great nose.

Bright gold
Big ripe RRV fruit
Big styled, but nice balance and lovely if you like the style.
