October 17, 2019 - Maturing golden color, with peach and nectarine aromas. The palate presents a focused mix of citrus, peach, and ripe pear flavors that show depth and richness, with a dash of minerality on the finish.

April 4, 2017 - agree with "wineismylife".
Dark yellow to gold color in the glas, clear looking throughout with the exception of a little bit of sediment. Nose of brown spices, pears, baked apples. Flavors of pears, lemons, creme, apples. Medium acidity -

Tasted blind in a blind Chardonnay tasting.
Dark yellow to gold color in the glas, clear looking throughout with the exception of a little bit of sediment. Nose of brown spices, pears, baked apples. Flavors of pears, lemons, creme, apples. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink over the short term. My guess was this is a 2005 White Burgundy. Wrong! -

April 23, 2016 - Served blind. Nose of apple and lemon with hints of toffee. On the palate, meyer lemon, golden apple, hints of toffee and spicy oak. Nice finish. Guessed 2011 SCM.

June 18, 2015 - Popped and poured. Nose of lemon curd, toffee, green apple, tangerine peel, and citrus flowers. On the palate, medium bodied with flavors of meyer lemon, green apple, figs, citrus peel, and toffee. Nice long balanced finish. Oak is present but completely integrated. Drink over the next few years. Will probably last to 2022 but mine won't be there that long.
