October 17, 2017 - This is one of my favorite Cali chards for the simple reason that it doesn't taste like a Cali chard. The oak treatment here complements the firm minerality and crisp acidity, rather than overpowering it and there's good depth and concentration for its price point. Quite nice!!

May 1, 2017 - This is delightful tonight as an atypical Cali Chardonnay. Instead of the overbearing, dominant component that oak usually is in Cali Chards, it plays a supporting role here to the pretty citrus, stone and cool green fruit. There's plenty of acidity and firm minerality on the long, satisfying finish. Quite delicious.

December 5, 2016 - Nicely balanced CA Chardonnay...subtle & well-integrated oak, medium bodied. Light fruit, straw, and hints of caramel. Good, not overly complex.
