April 9, 2023 - Butter colored, medium bodied, bold full but nicely balanced flavors of citrus, pear and melon with notes of floral and almond on a pleasantly dry moderately acid finish.

August 15, 2021 - Deep golden color.
Nose some lemon and golden orange.
Palate golden fruit, buttery.
From a particular Cali style of ripe crowd pleasing Chard... perhaps a bit over the hill, but who's to say? YMMV.
August 1, 2018 - Enjoyed very much
November 3, 2017 - Served at a football game weekend with friends, the FN Chardonnay is always a hit with this group, consistent, approachable, rich and balanced- tropical fruit and apple with baking spice.
October 8, 2017 - Fresh and crisp, faded lemon, plenty of acidity, lots of length but not too many layers. Oak is fully integrated, age has done well here.
November 12, 2015 - a little oaken than i prefer but clean and crisp and nicely balanced.
October 24, 2014 - slight tinge of gold, clean gourmand in the mouth and then a satisfying development of nuts, honey, toast, pear as the wine resolves to the finish, which wasnt short. A great choice for frequent drinking.
July 25, 2014 - Color: Lemon-straw yellow. Relatively clean nose of oak, vanilla, rosemary and alcohol. Honey and lemon palate. Medium+ finish. Overall somewhat overwrought and over-hot (14.3% ABV)
June 14, 2014 - Very nice, well balanced chardonnay. Hints of pear and apple with a touch of honey. Very smooth and enjoyable. Flavorful from beginning to end.
April 13, 2014 - A great chardonnay. Slight malolactic fermentation and great fruit balance
