Wonderful wine. Saving it for a milestone anniversary. Smooth, rich, complex --everything a cabernet could be but rarely is. Of course, given the price, it should be wonderful.

Bought it as an experiment at Total Wine. Looking for something like Flowers Chardonnay at a cheaper price point. This isn't it. For me, flavor was disjointed and unbalanced.

Picked this up at Costco fo4 under $20.00 and with a 96 point rating. Three of us who like chardonnay -- and somewhat oaky chardonnay. All of us refused to drink it.

Pretty simple wine. Ok, but prefer a chardonnay with a bit more complexity.

Butter bomb

Strange aftertaste. Almost musty.

This is a really nice wine; a grape I'd not tried before, but a really tasty white with depth.

Solid Classic CA chardonnay. Think Rombauer but cheaper

7/8/2022 - Jeka Does not like this wine:

Too rough and too much fruit. Maybe ok as a second bottle.

This is rapidly becoming a favorite wine choice. Quality between 2018 and 2019 is consistent and really good. Nuanced and balanced between oaky chardonnay and one with more minerality. to me, seems more complex than many chards.

bitter on the palate; back of my throat puckered.

Lovely, classic style chardonnay.

5/8/2021 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Originally pretty jammy and a little harsh-- needed decanting. Now smooth, very well balanced and wish I had a case more.

What a nice surprise! Under $17/bottle at Costco. Drinks well above it's price. This may be our new daily drinker.

2/1/2021 - Jeka Does not like this wine:

Sauvignon blanc fans might like it. Astringent, acrid.

12/27/2020 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Lots of fruit; rated down a couple of points as it seems to have lost the depth I thought it showed last time I tasted. Still nice.

Heavy, rich, smooth for a cab franc. Great with prime rib dinner.

Bitey, then cloyingly fruity. Not a fan.

10/21/2020 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Buttery and oaky, but not an oak bomb. Really nice and quite well balanced, with more flavor than expected.

9/6/2020 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Smooth, a little oak, a little butter, a little fruit balanced chardonnay. Nice.

8/18/2020 - Jeka Likes this wine:

nice, smooth and balanced. Neither too oakey or astringent. Great summer wine.

7/28/2020 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Complex, rich with oak and butter, but neither were overbearing. A really nice chardonnay.

7/26/2020 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Rich, butter and oak but with more complexity than many. Bought at Total Wine as a trial and it was a nice surprise.

Definitely sweet, even for a variety that tend to be a bit sweet. It would be best with spiced food, such as Mediterranean lamb dishes and baba ganoush. I liked it ok, but not enough to buy again. My husband thought it was good.

Lovely. An experiment from a Total Wine sale that turned out really good. Great with a grilled peach and chicken dish for summer.

For me this was neither fish nor fowl. Not acrid enough to be typically steel aged and not buttery or oaky enough to be a classic CA chardonnay. Others in the group liked it quite a bit.

a really nice surprise.

Just had a second bottle, and it's really good - commensurate with the rest of the ratings on Cellar Tracker. Our first bottle was terrible - must have been corked.

Give it some air before serving and it drinks very well.

Perhaps we held it too long, but at this point, it's a huge cherry bomb.

The best white wine I've had in at least two years.

12/23/2019 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Really good, especially at $24.00 a bottle.

11/30/2019 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Rating is a guestimate. Liked this at the winery, but didn't taste at home because guests drained the bottle before I had a chance to have a glass. Who knew Californians would like Washington cabs so much?

A good, dependable syrah.

Liked it at the winery when we bought it, but didn't get to taste this at home - the guests quickly disposed of it before I had a chance to have a glass, so guessing at the rating.

Easy, inexpensive daily drinker that can be taken to a cocktail party without shame.

11/19/2019 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Drinking beautifully. Smooth, rich, nuanced. Wish I had more as it was worth the price.

11/15/2019 - Jeka Likes this wine:

Bold. Powerful. No subtle nuances here. Gave it 3 hours of airtime in the bottle and it was stellar.

Refreshing, light and reasonably priced. Nice summer patio wine.

Don't understand a rating of 84 points. This is great! Smooth, rich, and delicious. Bought a bottle when first released at a much cheaper price, and found the winery had a few left when visiting Healdsburg this month. Ouch! But worth it.
