September 27, 2017 - The nose on this is pleasant enough, with a touch of oak, fresh apple and stone, although the palate feels a touch disjointed with the rich tropical fruits overtaking the acid; I think this wine has seen better days

November 15, 2015 - Opened not decanted and served chilled. Opened on a cold wintery afternoon after dining for lunch at Miilenium in Oakland, a vegetarian restaurent. This was a bottle shared with friends at home afterwards.
Somewhat sour, green flavors with dark yellow notes of citrus; light to medium weight in body; elevated acid that raises the tasting to an "up" trajectory that ends with a deep dark tasting of lemon and dark lemon type fruit. Good. -

November 12, 2015 - Opened while cooking, citrus flowers on the nose, the palate was tangerine, mineral and some oak which was in balance, a nice long finish.

April 12, 2015 - This bottle was much different than the last one I tried 8 months ago. The nose is still crushed white flowers, the palate however is more like roasted tangerine with melon and minerals. A nice long finish. It totally complimented our Sunday night Sushi dinner.

August 24, 2014 - A beautiful bottle of chardonnay. Nice yellow in color, the palate is melon, pear, mineral and a minimal of oak. A great finish which lingers. Just awesome.
