December 9, 2018 - Still delicious and on a nice, slow, evolution with plenty of fresh, life ahead.
September 11, 2017 - Just-ripe pear with tart green apple, touch of vanilla, oak spice, and wet gravel, quite a lovely Chardonnay with light body. Delicious and very drinkable. Great QPR.
July 23, 2017 - refreshing. peach. some noticeable acidity. I like it.
January 20, 2016 - From a previous week, no notes taken but surely impressed; scads of minerals and tension, really really good, wish I had bought more when it was on the absurd sale price of $24. ~91
December 31, 2015 - Delicious as usual, liked by all.
December 19, 2015 - -- cracked and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.5 hours --
Nicely focused, with good acidity. At a pleasant in-between point on the rich-lean spectrum; lots of mineral flavor on the finish; 14.0% alc. not noticeable; low-level excellent.
October 24, 2015 - Another tasty bottle of this solid value Chardonnay.
July 6, 2015 - As Gaylord Falker would say, "strong to very strong". Bottle after bottle this is one well done, well priced, wonderful Chardonnay's from a terrific vineyard in a ideal growing AVA for Chardonnay.

NOSE: banana Runts candy; blend of tropical/lean/mineral; a touch lactic/milky; overall, this gives a “light” impression; not complex.
BODY: pale yellow color; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: nice fruit flavor, but this is on the leaner end of the Chardonnay spectrum; strong mineral; medium+ acidity; very light oak; strong mid-palate umami note; strong mineral on the finish, which is of medium-long to long length and medium-strong intensity; 14.0% alc. not noticeable; very nice; this deserves some attention.
50, 5, 12, 16, 7 = 90
March 23, 2015 - Once again, stellar!
