Nose is nicely fruity, mostly with apple and peach, and a touch of Meyer lemon. Mild florals and vanilla are apparent in thr background. Taste is beautifully smooth and medium bodied, with wonderful baked notes - cooked pineapple, Meyer lemon bars - and a touch of lime. The acidity sneaks in but lingers as a key part of the long finish. Currently 6+ years since harvest, and tasting beautifully with promise of more years to come.

Red wines open my eyes and make me say wow far more often than white. So when a white does, it’s noteworthy. This is absolutely terrific Chardonnay—lemony and structured but not austere, fruity and generous but not unctuous. I tend to drink whites young, but the 4+ years obviously sit well. I’ll give my ‘16 some more time.
