Community Tasting Note

  February 12, 2021 - Just picked up a couple more bottles of both this and the '18, and this is as good today as it was when I tried it last year. Chardonnay in a crisp, minerally style, so if you are seeking buttery notes, this is probably not for you. At least IMO, and although I'm not doing it today, these are fun to try side-by-side with the Durant made by Marcus Goodfellow.

I do know that Jim thinks his 2019 Durant is the best Chardonnay that PGC has made.

  7/25/21, 1:01 PM - Thanks Bob for the reply. I am thinking of getting each of their 18’s, now i know to get the 19 too for Jim’s. Thanks again. It’s hard to find tasters who go across the producers. Really appreciate the help in understanding. I don’t usually like chard’s; recently had the goodfellow and then was tracking down the vineyard for other chard’s and perhaps I’ll try the Pinot’s too. (I really like the Jim’s Pinots so it’s good to know to the chards are good to try as well.).
