  Deep honey color Burnt butterscotch bitter lemon confit. My fault- too long in the tooth.

  This is a bit fat, full of rich yellow fruit, with the alcohol poking out the back end, lacking the acidity and minerality of the best Littorai chardonnays. Looking over my notes, I see I often have this critique of Theriot; I think I prefer Heintz and Mays Canyon. Fully mature, drink up

  Pale lemon colour, some gold around the rim. Medium+ intensity on the nose, which shows stone and tropical fruit - ripe peach and pineapple - with some honey in the background. No obvious use of oak. On the palate, medium+ flavour intensity and medium body. Similar fruit flavours, but also a touch of banana, and hint of sweet spice. Medium+ acidity, which is lovely, giving the wine a refreshing, savoury finish. Very good, and drinking well now.

  Big, rich, ripe but needs more acidity to cut through the pineapple and caramel. Seems like it is tough even for thoughtful producers to make balanced chardonnay in CA.

  Popped and poured. Light gold. Exuberant rich and exotic nose of tropical fruits, butterscotch, lime, and perhaps a touch of botrytis. Lovely and rich on the palate with a long finish; no noticeable oak, just rich fruit and good balance. I would say this is at peak as the acidity is adequate but not for long aging.
  Lovely drink.
