June 14, 2015 - Outstanding American Chardonnay drinking perfectly right now. Phenomenal balance of yellow fruit, oak, acid, and tannins. Supremely elegant and restrained, especially compared to the SM 2010. Went great with Copper River sockeye off the grill.

August 2, 2014 - More oak tonight after being opened for 3-4 hours, but still good pineapples, lemons, and crisp acidity.
