November 29, 2020 - This went from Villages Chablis three years ago to Premier Cru Puligny today. Definitely worth the wait. The focus, the precision, the density and delineation. Wow. I was impressed. There's some development, some honeycomb, a little bit of hazelnut but the acid makes it even more vibrant than I remember. It's also gained some weight but it's all muscle. I'd love to blind a few people with this bottle. I think they'll be very surprised. Drink now or in the short term. I doubt it can get any better.
March 4, 2018 - Rich but with good acid, grip and salinity. Better than the previous bottle that I had on 1/6.
January 6, 2018 - Bigger and more ripe than I'm accustomed to for Sandhi. I guess '12 was a ripe vintage for all of CA. Good wine but I prefer to have it with food - a rich dish.
May 10, 2017 - I agree with the prior reviews. This is a cool climate - old world styled wine, with medium-high acid, some minerality, very dry but with some volume. Reminds me of a village Chablis. I think it has a lot of potential to age. I will keep my last bottle for another 3 years at least to see where this goes.
September 29, 2016 - Exponentially better than the last bottle most likely due to giving it a bit more time in bottle. Reminiscent of a bracing Chablis 1er with zesty natural acidity with richer lemon flavors rounding out the finish. Very nice!
April 7, 2016 - Complex nose of marzipan, tart apple, stalk and animal notes. Medium-bodied, refined and balanced with a medium/long aftertaste.
February 6, 2016 - Not the wow experience I'd been reading about. It's fine, village level Chard.
January 7, 2016 - Tastes a little more California than I remember. Time has tamed the acidity, which once stood out in the flavor profile. Still one of my favorite California Chardonnays.
January 2, 2016 - Too much lemon in my opinion. Pass.
December 25, 2015 - Star to pale gold. Nose of lemon, almond, white flower, minerals. Medium bodied palate of lemon peel, almond, touch of baking spice, lemon curd. Medium + acidity and length. This is a nice one to show how well balanced a CA Chardonnay can be
