Community Tasting Notes 4

  May 23, 2013 - Eighteen months since I had the first bottle and there is a big improvement. Lovely, medium straw color with long legs and nice shimmer. Perfect harmony between fruit and barrel on the nose. The body glides in softly and holds on long with lemon meringue and marzipan. Smooth and elegant texture and a very long finish driven by fruit and acidity - not oak,. Won't get in your face and it still has plenty of flavors to explore. A new benchmark in Cali Chardonnay for me. 5+13+18+8 = 94

  April 20, 2013 - I enjoyed this wine. Nice color and fruity bouquet. This is a buttery style, but not really oaked. We enjoyed this with Lobster.

  March 28, 2013 - Not much of a nose, faint citrus notes on the palate, with perhaps hints of pineapple peaking through, ends buttery. Best served cool but not chilled. This lacked in midpalate taste to me - the fruit notes were faint and the wine tasted "thin" until the buttery finish kicked in.

  November 19, 2011 - Tasted just below cellar temp. Beautiful shimmery straw color, heavy legs. Light intensity nose but a round and complex bouquet of warm biscuit, citrus, wood, cream, jasmine. Soft and long on the palate with an even longer finish. Ageworthy. 5+11+17+8 = 91+
