  April 4, 2021 - Eclectic blend of Pinot Blanc, chenin Blanc, chardonnay, viognier, melon, and roussane. These wines are fun in their youth and I believe Hardy intends from them to be consumed early on, but I am really digging this wine at 5 years old. Cloudy yellow orange in color (don't look at the wine through the bottle if you're squeamish - you'd swear it has sea monkeys in it!), and highly aromatic with notes of lemon and lanolin. In the mouth this is delicious, with tangy citrus, sour lemons, and a bit of saline that adds interest. Very well integrated, and yet still very fresh.....and REALLY easy to drink! Good stuff Hardy!

  January 24, 2021 - With Fish Tacos.... poured half to 375....cloudy, slightly bruised but showing fairly bright with subdued lemon and light minerality. Great mouthfeel.
  Very integrated and aged Chablis like. Chenin/Pinot blanc leading the way. Nice.
  Day 2

  August 11, 2019 - I like these aged. I imagine in thier youth they are bright and possibly have a spritz, but as an older wine they are still tangy, lemony and have the acid no the back to hold up to our pairing of tomatoe, fish and cream sauces.
  Drink away before summer ends

  January 14, 2019 - Right on with my first bottle of this a few years ago. I know this is the earlier drinking wine but it doesn't show any age. Lots of acid and lemon, only a very slight bitterness at the finish detracts.

  November 27, 2018 - Fine clay like sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Light greenish yellow and clear. Interesting nose with green apples, a touch of funk, and some fruit skins. Medium acidity (5/10) and light bodied. Almost a carbonated texture on the palate with some light wax, apples, tropical fruits and some thickness to it. Medium length finish. Drink now.
