February 8, 2021 - Drinking very well at the moment - so pure and crystalline, minerals for days. Very faint citrus fruits and just a slight kiss of oak. Great chardonnay from Calif no doubt.

October 14, 2019 - What a pure and mineral Chardonnay. With 12% of alcohol, the bottle is empty in no time. The nose is clearly marked by complex citrus blossoms and citrus fruits. In addition, there is a very stony, wet minerality - hot, wet limestone after a cooling thunderstorm rain. On the palate very pure and very clear in aroma. Together with the acidity drawn with a laser sword, the result is a mouth watering substance, of which one cannot leave one's hand. Very much traction on the palate with medium body. The wonderful minerality together with the acidity brings a really animating freshness. The wine gives a cool, almost silky mouthfeel, Plays aromatically between different citrus fruits and sucking stones. Beautiful length.

August 17, 2019 - Medium yellow. Vibrant citrus, vanilla, and orange on nose. Balance body and taste. Citrus, mineral and maybe even a small hint of butterscotch. Very delicious, and I will buy again.

May 3, 2019 - Distinct yellow in color. Wet stone and terroir on nose. I found this wine uniquely enjoyable on the first taste. Medium body with a more tart finish.
Buy again. -
