June 25, 2020 - This is drinking very well now with no signs of dropping off in the next five plus years. Saline, slight acid bite, cool weather chard, touch of vanilla, enjoyable green notes, citrus. This is up their with some of the best California chardonnay I have had.

July 31, 2019 - Felt like it was just past it's prime. Lemon curd, honeysuckle acid, well balanced oak. Drank with Roast Chicken and potatoes.

March 15, 2019 - Drinking very well. This is all lemon and cream, and delicious. It almost comes across like Chablis without the saline/minerals. This is not meant as a knock, but it's not very complex, and maybe a bit "one note" -- but it's a really nice note!

April 14, 2018 - Drinking beautifully with no sign of dropping off. Citrus notes, acid calm and not biting, fruit more subtle, integrated. This is a smooth, watery in a good way, chard in a Chablis style. Excellent.
