  May 23, 2012 - Very good. Golden color. Crisp apples and oak on the nose. Butter coating (texture) with flavors of lemon and citrus, especially on the finish. Somewhat complex for a chardonnay (this is a good thing). Borders on "Delicious" in my book...

  November 25, 2011 - Bottle enjoyed with roasted turkey and kale risotto. Currently, it was off-dry with soft acidity and was relatively light-bodied. It is not an overly-oaky wine, and certainly was not a buttery chardonnay. While enjoyable, I felt depth was missing from the wine, and I wonder whether it would benefit from some time in the cellar.

  November 13, 2011 - Melon, apple and pear. High acidity, very crisp, sour fruits. The after finish has a small oak compliment, but this isn't an oaky chardonnay.
