  May 25, 2020 - This bottle seems to be a little better than my previous experience. However, I find it to be quite acidic with the fruit in the background. It just maybe that this wine is past its prime.

  January 23, 2020 - Well, my opinion about this wine has changed. It is quite acidic and not very charming. It has grilled lemon and sort of an oxidized finished to it.

  November 19, 2019 - Just opened the bottle, so perhaps my comments will change as we enjoy this bottle. First impressions is that the acidity is front and center with the citrus fruit in the background. It certainly has nice minerality. This is not a buttery California Chardonnay if that is what one is looking for. I am not, but it is still a little acidic for our tastes, but not bad either.

  June 6, 2019 - There must be some bottle variation as this bottle is not nearly as good as the one I had enjoyed. It is not as complex and the acidity is more prominent. But it still has nice citrus fruit.

  May 23, 2019 - It is a lean, mineral driven Chardonnay with lots of character and body. Nice lemon curd fruit and zippy acidity. I don’t detect any oak. Lovely to drink.
