  Retail $40. Biodynamic. I picked uptown bottles of this wine back in 2010 when I was out at the International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville, Oregon. The first bottle, that we drank in November, was phenomenal. This is excellent as well, but a notch below the first bottle. Citrusy with an ounce of funk and straw yellow, almost clear. The palate is reserved yet expressive with lemon curd, a restrained acidity, and lengthy finish. Still impressive, but not in the same league as the first. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Wow. I picked this up back in 2010 when I was out at the International Pinot Noir Celebration. There are few U.S. Chardonnays that I have had that would be able to run with this one. A classic style with reserved fruit and subtle flavors. A bit of the tropics on the nose and impeccable balance on the palate. Best Chardonnay I’ve had so far this year. Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Hazelnuts sprinkled with lemon juice drizzled with honey. Still has life but in a good spot.

  Like a heavy chablis. Stone. Minerals. Chalk. Grass. Some body. Light touch of oak. Acid is there but wont hurt your throat. Drinking nicely now. I doubt many would pick this out as new world. Had with black cod. Work3d well. Very nice wine.
