September 16, 2022 - Kept this out of curiosity as to how well it would age. Answer: phenomenally well. Still pale yellow in the glass. Freshly cut flowers and crushed limestone on the nose. Remains tart, steely, minerally and beautifully voluptuous on the palate. Equivalent to a premier cru Chablis. Continuing to be a refreshing departure from the baseline over oaked and manipulated California Chardonnay. A tremendous wine that AR should be quite proud of. Bravo!!!

November 23, 2018 - Per usual in our house, I stood alone and enjoyed another A/R. Thought is was a nice expression of unoaked Chardonnay. Bright acidity and tartness.

March 5, 2018 - Still a youngish, lively wine. Refreshing acidity, nicely balanced fruit, veering to citrus. Definitely operating above its price point.

January 7, 2018 - Delicate with an acidic backbone. On its own, a bit tart and light on the fruit for my tastes. Would be more enjoyable to me with an appropriate food pairing.
