November 18, 2018 - Same as last bottle. Lost all of its verve. One left. Is this just very short lived juice? I'll start drinking the 2012 and 2013 now!

November 15, 2018 - This wine has lost all of its verve since my last taste in 2012. Nothing of the magic I remember from my last 2009 or have experienced recently from younger bottles. Yikes. 2 more left. Did I wait way to long on this? I hope it is an off bottle. I'll open the next one ASAP. Score withheld.

December 8, 2017 - A great value for a wonderful tasting Chardonnay. Not oaky, nice fruit flavors and acidity. Long finish.

November 25, 2016 - Classic heavily oaked Cali Chard. Hazelnut lemon curd and oak nose. Buttery mouth, oak finish with a touch of citrus. Delivers what I expect in a mid tier oaked Cali Chard.
