    May 7, 2012 - Very nice. Taste of tart apple to start with a buttery and mineral finish. Detect pear and floral to nose. Had with salmon. Great paring with salmon

    February 5, 2012 - Not a big fan of California chardonnay. But this delivers exactly what I look for in a better Carneros. Nose of pear and only slight vanilla, rich tropical mid-palate, and a long finish that includes some mineral, refreshing acidity and even a bit of grapefruit rind bitterness.

    February 3, 2012 - Hints of varietal hallmarks oak and butter, but this is crisper and more exciting than most chardonnays, with other flavors coming to the front (apple and an almost tropical overtone).
