September 24, 2019 - Y'all, I'm drinking this to the Dead on news of R Hunter's passing, to set the stage... the finish on this simply melts into your soul, a long lasting lemon wax and shine, that's what hit me first even though it came last. Nose is shy after an hour, but savory herb comes through and crisp fruit - green apple? Pear? - then w air the layers of complexity I can't quite grasp pile on, mushrooms & thyme. Palate is an acid punch with a pillow, leaving you woozy but happy.

June 4, 2018 - I love the idea of a 11.7 % Chardonnay and I enjoyed this wine. But it has the complexity level of an $20 Chardonnay. Maybe Rowdy is right and I am wrong and my perception of complex CA Chardonnay is base on something that is overdone.

May 4, 2018 - Bright, brutish lemony furball of a wine. Went down singing throwing fistfuls of hay.
