April 17, 2013 - A brilliant, clean, medium bodied wine with a long well-aged finish. Perhaps just a smidgen past its prime, this wine presents a bouquet of mellow peach to the nose and palate. A little heavy, even for a chardonnay, but its piquant character is welcoming and well rounded.

August 17, 2012 - Not over the hill but more structured, acidic and less sweet fruit than prior vintages.

February 19, 2011 - I was worried this would be past its prime but it had lots of life left in it. A rich, complex chardonnay... excellent.
