March 24, 2016 - Bright golden. Balanced, with a kiss of sweetness. Bright and rather simple, but very enjoyable over three nights.

April 21, 2015 - Medium golden-yellow color, moderate nose dominated by apples and a whiff of oak. Very fruity wine, lots of citrus notes, but apple and pear lurking in the background. Also quite a bit of oak on the finish. Soft and luscious without being flabby. Clean finish. This is not my favorite style of Chardonnay, but I have to admit - this is really delicious. Almost sweet tasting, although I am sure there's little residual sugar. This is not a food wine, but would make an excellent aperitif. Drank this with a friend, and we finished the bottle in less than an hour. Really top-notch, easy-drinking Chardonnay. Recommended.
