  September 14, 2012 - Crystal clear, golden yellow color. First nose of mineral, light floral and faint oak finished with citrus and pineapple. Flavours of pineapple, tons of lemon, mineral finishing with a slight bitterness and grapefruit. Medium to full bodied, nice complex, long finish and a juicy acidity. Good stuff!

  April 8, 2012 - Nose: Pineapple, Starfruit, and nice Nutty Vanilla notes. Perhaps a slight honey note. Palate: Pineapple, Meyer Lemon and Green Apple. Nice balanced palate that is very full in the mouth, but never gets heavy. Nice creamy note in the mid palate and crisp acidity at the back end. Finish: Bright tropical fruit and tart acidity. Nice wine.

  September 1, 2011 - Really terrific Cali chardonnay. Very balanced, ripe lemon flavors, lots of crisp acidity on finish. Lightly oaked. A definite keeper on a shrinking list of must buys.

  July 23, 2011 - Pop and pour and served in plastic cups on a sailboat. And still, Wow. Delicious floral nose with hints of lemon-lime, honey and pineapple. Wonderful rich wine, with pineapple, Granny Smith apple and lemon meringue pie, all framed with good acidity. Rich and robust but not showing oak nor vanilla/butter. Delicious wine. Unable to comment on the color - plastic cups and all but this is a well balanced, rich but elegant wine.

  June 4, 2011 - A remarkable Chardonnay. Crisp, citrius, some floral tones, very light oak. If you like cakebread chard you will love this wine. Quite the find!
