November 22, 2023 - Still quite nice, the oak still present but has probably eased up some. Would certainly have no qualms about serving this to a gathering in its present library state.

December 17, 2021 - Quite a nice Chardonnay. Quite oaky, as one would expect. Not as much malolactic fermentation, as is typical for California. Which was a good thing. Nice hints of apricot, almonds, butterscotch, and a lovely floral component. Good finish. Holding up well.

August 18, 2018 - Lots of oak and butter/butterscotch with a backdrop of fruits and minerals. Total awesomeness if you like this style of Chardonnay.

March 24, 2018 - This full bodied, yellow colored wine presents apples, vanilla, and sweet oak with a hint of bitter acidity on the back end. There’s also a slight note of canned tomatoes.
