April 1, 2023 - Served with appetizers to start a dinner with friends. Incredibly smooth with an extended finish. Solid acidity, floral and crisp. Two friends noted that it was one of the smoothest Chardonnays that they have had. The use of oak is discernible in the wine’s rich mouthfeel and a slight touch of honey. Really drinking well at this time. Only bottle from this vintage and vineyard🥲

March 3, 2023 - Drinking really well, definitely not over the hill by any means. Good balance, great length, thoroughly enjoyable. Wish I had more.

July 16, 2021 - Drinking at or close to peak. This is like a Californian baby Corton-Charlemagne. Grilled nuts, white peach, flowers, honey, and with the acidity to hold it up. Tiny bit of coconut and pineapple on the backend. This could definitely go for another 3-5 years.
I picked this up for $65. Perhaps the bargain of the year for me. -

June 8, 2021 - Popped and poured. Lemon rind, a little citrus, minerals and a touch of biscuit come through. The wine is full bodied, fairly youthful, nicely balanced with reasonable tension and acidity. There is a bit too much oak here for me but otherwise I liked this a great deal.

March 20, 2021 - Big, bold, unmistakably California Chardonnay. Notes of coconut, vanilla, some citrus in the background. Nice acidity to provide the refreshment factor. Round and full bodied. Well-made but not other worldly.
