I've never been a fan of California chardonnay; but I must say I liked this. Very fresh with lemon and mineral notes on the nose; floral notes with more air and a touch of pear; very vibrant and energetic. Good depth and a lovely finish. Will be interesting to follow the other single vineyard wines.
Held up well over 2 days with not much decline or change.

Wow - this is giving nothing up right now - extremely tight and closed. Very clean nose but indistinguishable fruits. Flavors or citrus and a hint of spice - finishes clean and long. A nice drink, but too young for me.

First time with PMR vineyard Chardonnay. I've had many vintages of the other mainstays but never this one for some reason. Just as good in my opinion. Hands down the best price to quality California Chardonnay's (up there for the US) in my opinion. Pale straw yellow. Aromas of lemon zest, pear, pineapple, stone fruits, sea salts. On the palate the lemon, pear, green apple, and saline qualities stand out with good acidity up front and flavors that linger for a full minute.

A good wine for the challenging vintage, but you can see the difference from previous years. Good and fine flavors of candied pear, lemon rind and salt but missing the cut of previous years. PMR is always the softest Chardonnay from Ceritas and even softer in 2020 so it will be interesting to try others.

Good fruit, lemon, bruised lemon, lacking acid structure, slightly flat and one dimensional.
