  Very deep almost toasted citrus on the nose, 2 years old it has developed a lot in terms of poise and some longer finish, a bit of pineapple sneaks in, really great at this time. Long finish, undulating oak, not overwhelming at all. Touch of candied almond. 94+

  This is a pretty flawless Chard. Beautiful nose, great on the pallet and a long finish. White peach, nectarine and ripe Apricots explode on the tongue.

  This is stunningly good stuff - QPR is great despite sitting on the very top of the MV Chardonnay food chain; Lovely balance, oak is clearly present but never overwhelming, finish is delightfully long. One of my favorite Chardonnays. If we hadn't opened an El Nido later in the evening, this would have been WOTN for sure. I'm glad I have extra bottles, should age well. I disagree with current drink date recommendations - this is drinking superbly now.

  Balanced from beginning to end. Bright green apple and lemon peel on the palate. Subtle toasty oak compliments but does not dominate. Rich mouthfeel that is balanced with lively acidity. Long dry finish.
