  Lovely bottle. Has depth and richness but a really nice energy and acidity. Just a smidge of underlining oyster and mineral notes. Decent finish
  93-94

  Incredible energy and up front attack. Great acidity drives through quite a big wine.
  Lovely - good few years ahead but drinking well now

  Nice gold color. Nose terrific, with loads of honey and floral notes. Very California in a way, with its (subtle) butteriness, but also with some of the slate and mineral that brings Chablis to mind. Got better as it warmed. Drinking great. 94-95?

  Oak and note of lemon in the bouquet. Rich, oaky, concentrated fruit flavor. Clean, long finish. Fine example of California Chardonnay. Will hold 2more years easily.

  Pale golden straw belies the notion of cali chard. Nose otherwise, smells of tropical pineapple and mango, and a little waxy. Tastes of more yellow fruit, but more apple and melon. Nicely balanced, with a lovely crisp acidity which gives it green-ness. I believe this wine will most definitely benefit from more time in the cellar. Could not differentiate from a very good burgundy. Try again in summer of 2025 if I can wait that long.
