May 26, 2023 - Beautiful quality white burg in a great spot right developing fruit starting to get some nutty notes still very nice acidity that’s sharp and well integrated

June 13, 2020 - Maybe a couple years past peak. Lots of lemon acidity but not enough roundness and fruit complexity--a rare sort of criticism from me. Awkward/oxidized for the first 15 minutes, peaked for 30, then fell off a bit. Just too linear to be anything more than good.

December 2, 2018 - Always a rich and luxurious version of a Macon. But with pears, apples, and a bit of citrus to cut the creaminess in the finish. It's a great wine at everyday prices, but doesn't have the oaked elements of an over-produced wine that many mid-priced Chardonnay's have become trying to be something bigger than they can be. This is exactly what it should be for the vineyard.

October 25, 2018 - Plum Market Luxury Tasting (Bad Hunter - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Ripe peach, baked apple with slightly sweet spice. Very easy to enjoy now.
