  An absolute top notch SoCal Chardonnay, this comes across as a Burgundy from the later 1980s - rich and faintly sweet but with the textures to bring that great fruit across the finish line. Bravo, Jim, bravo! Best to enjoy within the next 2-4 years.

  Hard pressed to find a better chardonnay to my taste: elegant fruit, crunchy almond, dark yellow and "mellow malo". Do not drink too cold or you'll miss out on much it has to say; warm up outside the fridge for about 15 minutes before drinking. Unsure that it could get better, very rewarding drink right now; no need to wait.
