November 20, 2016 - Medium yellow. apple, oyster shell nose - enticing. Crisp but not without sweetness and with baked apple flavour, like a Chablis 1err in a ripe vintage. a little bitterness and heat but a fine example of Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay. Food friendly.
July 22, 2014 - I can smell the oak but in a good way with this wine. Light, clean and lithe. Perfect for this night on the patio.
April 3, 2013 - More minerality than I expected from other LF bottlings, and a clipped finish, but head and shoulder over peers nonetheless.
March 4, 2013 - Similar to previous note.
January 28, 2013 - Chablis-like in character. Light yellow color, excellent minerals & citrus and medium finish.
June 28, 2012 - Expressive nose dominated by oyster shell and minerality with some lemon and tropical fruit notes. The palate is racy with the tropical fruit notes bringing you back to the new world, but the wine is still dominated by sea shell, stone and citrus notes. A long balanced finish letting you know you've had the best of both worlds.
June 9, 2012 - RJ's note covers it below, perhaps long- finish. I would add that there is a detectable oak frame to this, holding it together nicely. This represents a good value. Looking forward to trying the Golden Slopes. 13.7%
