August 11, 2019 - Golden, viscous color. Peach, yellow apple, almond paste and spice on the nose and palate. Medium-weight owing mostly to the oak. Round finish. Agree with those that thought this vintage was somewhat muted, and missing the citrus and tropical fruit notes. Drink up.

October 12, 2018 - Quite an interesting expression. Not sure how much longer this one will go. I was getting a cotton candy note on the nose. I dare say I was getting some mushroom here. Palate of aged melon on the front. Rounded front with malolactic type body and guava/mango finish. Nice expression of Heintz. I have been exposed to lots of Heintz wines and this seems to be a lot less Heintz-ish than others I have had. A cool bottle nevertheless!!

May 26, 2018 - Aromas of lemon meringue, papaya, banana, lime and touch of mineral. Flavors of papaya, mango, lemon pie, banana and bit of mineral near the end. Ends with a tropical fruit infused finish of about 40 seconds. This is always the most full blown Chardonnay of the Williams Selyem lineup. Drinking fantastic right now. Going to pair well with the lobster!
