Pretty aromas of pineapple and citrus, brioche and vanilla, nasturtium and toasty oak, hints of graham crackers, bananas, and dried coconut; balanced and full-bodied, with a sweet, soft Meyer lemon juiciness on the palate; a backnote of stonefruit ebbs into the flinty finish. Has the goods to age a little longer.

We may have let this bottle go too long before opening it, but it retained much of the flavor profile you might expect from a Napa Chardonnay. Quite dry and well balanced, with lemon-lead citrus and vanilla, the bottle was hit with the group.

Still holding up well, but definitely on the down-slope.

Jules and I had this while cooking dinner. Quite nice, not too oaky.
