August 7, 2019 - golden chardonnay, the nose shows butterscotch and white peach, balanced, round, viscous texture, hints of white flower, peach, apple and baking spices caress the palate, long finish, delicious, drink now

April 17, 2018 - Similar to before with crisp green apple, lemon, pear, and stone fruit. Has some mineral notes, flowers and subtle oak. Sharp acidity and good finish.
