  November 29, 2014 - Definitely one of the better Cali chardonnays I've tasted. Nose has apricot, peach, a hint of citrus, and baked apples. Just a hint of oak. The palate is balanced, elegant, and nice with some minerality in addition to green fruits. Retains freshness yet still fairly full bodied. Not a heavy, oaky style which is nice.

  July 29, 2014 - Opened for a guest who inhaled it during the evening. I had a smidge, but not enough to really post much more than a brief nod to liking it. She certainly did. Last bottle. I'd buy this in new release to give it a try.

  May 31, 2014 - Pale lemon, noticably unintegrated oak floating above an apple and ripe tropical melon nose. Much cleaner taste, dry, mid acidity, appley and melon, well balanced, long finish.

  March 30, 2014 - Very old world in style. Crisp acidity with lots of green apple flavor on the palate. Not heavy. Would be a great Chard to pair with food but some what austere on it's own.

  October 2, 2013 - Agree with others here that by the nose, one would think this was an Old World offering. Very Burgundian. Flavors of lemon rind, straw, light citrus, with a nice acidity & light oak. Opened early, but I couldn't resist. Will need to see about picking up some more.
