February 8, 2019 - C'est rond, bien gras, on a un peu de vanille, californien dans le style. De mémoire, les quelques années passées dans le cellier lui ont permis de mieux intégrer le bois. On est surtout sur la poire. La pointe d'acidité en fin de bouche fait que ce n'est pas trop lourd. Très bien.

November 1, 2015 - Surprised this was from California - very refined full-bodied Chardonnay with just the right amount of oak to round it out.

April 22, 2015 - Had this at the winemakers retirement reception. Somewhere between a Chablis and a fully oaked barrel fermented Napa Chardonnay it really needed more bottle age to develop and it was too cold. Any way it was quite nice, tart and fresh with integrated oak and very approachable citrus flavors.
