    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

    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.

    January 7, 2017 - Aromas of tangerine, hazelnut, smoke and a hint if lime. Flavors of tangerine, pineapple, lime and a hint of vanilla. Served this a but colder than the last time having it and seemed to show better. Best showing yet.

    August 20, 2016 - Aromas of tangerine and hazelnut. Flavors of tangerine, popcorn, guava and nut. I have had this 4 times I believe and the 1st and 3rd were the best. The 2nd and 4th seemed a touch behind.

    March 18, 2016 - Aromas of popcorn, vanilla, tangerine and cream. More tangerine on the palate with flavors of nutmeg, papaya and banana. Ended with a finish of about 15+ seconds. This is really nice for the money but seemed just a touch better the last time I had it.
