Too much practice. wrote: 84 points
August 7, 2018 - Honestly would not be able to telly his apart from a Puligny or burgundy (in my eternal ignorance). You’d tell it apart from a GREAT burgundy. But has opened my eyes to the potential quality of Cali Chardonnay. This is very good if a little unbalanced in a slightly overpowered flavour. Enjoyed with Andrew the Gardener and Perrin

October 20, 2017 - Nice balance of apple, ML elements, and overall acidity. Nicely balanced oak as well.

March 4, 2017 - A near blanc tasting chardonnay here. Lots of light fruits and a definite oak backdrop. Taste starts and ends the same. While I do like it and would buy it again, there's a few options just as good at this price point.
