February 22, 2011 - Holding pretty well for a 8 year old chardonnay. Nose had a touch too much oak but the wine was easy to drink. Didn't take formal notes but was pretty good.

April 6, 2009 - Cork fell apart when trying to open it. Wine was definitely oxidized and bad. Bitter taste.

September 22, 2008 - Wonderful buttery pear, pineapple, fig fruit...complex toasted marshmallow, hazelnut, lemon honey, floral citrus spice. Has a creamy mouthfeel, rich and exotic, yet intensely streaked with a citrus zing of spice and acidity. Not just yet in the league of a Kistler or Marcassin.....but pretty tasty non-the-less. Factor in the cost......no contest!
