May 28, 2022 - Maybe my tastes are just evolving away from this sort of wine, but I did not enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would. I've enjoyed several Arista wines in the past...It's well made, high quality fruit, complex, but also heavy, plodding, felt like a bit of a chore to drink. Lemon curd, vanilla, cloves, and cinnamon- the oak is a bit heavy handed for my palate. There isn't enough acid to keep it refreshing, lively, or interesting.

April 22, 2019 - Rich, layered and full bodied Chardonnay with notes of butterscotch and lemon. Intense fruit with a finish that goes on and on along with terrific minerality. This is a fantastic Chardonnay.
