September 2, 2015 - Pretty good. Not too oaky with fruit showing some medium depth as it warmed. Could use a bit more acidity on the finish.

March 7, 2015 - Good body, glycerol ripe fruit, not much acid, not much oak. Pleasant now but not to keep.

September 20, 2014 - A Few Blind Chardonnays (Washington, DC): Smells of fresh laundry, some white peach, apricot and bright flowers, a some spicy-herbal notes. Medium body, medium acid, full of pear, green and yellow apples and honeydew melon, some ruby red grapefruit. White tea and a spicy herbal elements linger on the finish. Not as much nerve as the 2011 but very nice for this style.
