  February 22, 2017 - A nice chardonnay. I drank it and it went down smooth. It was nice and after drinking it I felt tight. The wine tasted rich. It tasted like yellow fruit and green apple, and it had a mid-palate flavor of toasted wood. The finish did not seem thin to me but it was somewhat buttery.

  August 14, 2016 - Salil is welcomed to Indiana: A nicely balanced and restrained California chardonnay, typical of Ryan's style. Lemon peel, balsa wood, and a slight buttery element make this a very enjoyable wine. It paired nicely with roasted corn risotto.

  February 12, 2016 - Light yellow with aromas of lemon, toasted bread and vanilla. Palate follows the nose, the lemon tastes slightly artificial and just a bit buttery and slightly bitter. Medium weight in the mouth, with a bit more bitterness on the finish. More fruit and less acid than I'd expect for a wine that clocks in at 13%abv. Enjoyable, but I wouldn't rush to grab a second bottle -- the 2013 was preferable.

  August 24, 2015 - Popped and poured. Nose of lemon pledge, apple along with some toasted oak and nuts. Similar flavors on the palate with mostly citrus and apple flavors along with a bit of vanilla. Could have used more acidity for my palate and mouthfeel and finish is a bit thin overall. Decent chardonnay but not my favorite.
