December 5, 2021 - A nice, clean expression of chardonnay. The only issue is that it's getting a little tired, with a just a hint of oxidization nuttiness on the finish.

August 22, 2016 - tight sour smell tense and bracing with mild body. Good value

July 30, 2016 - Very straightforward. Nice combination of Chardonnay fruit with cool climate acidity. Not much complexity, but very honest and certainly superior to so many other Chardonnays (from California, in particular) that lack character and acidity, and supplant those with oak flavoring.

December 1, 2015 - Kim consistently makes pretty good value wines. This unpacked Chard was no exception. Good acid and minerals unmasked by oak. Don't get me wrong. I like oaked Chards too but I also like Chards that haven't been excessively oaked or malolactic acid fermented to make them too buttery and soft.
