January 1, 2021 - This wine has aged well and become livelier and stone and citrus fruited since my last bottle. Really nice chardonnay that had a lot of great qualities -- nicely pure fruit flavors, some creaminess without tasting oaky and bright mouthfeel without any butter. Good freshness and lively finish! Loved it! Not sure where this will go in the future and recommend drinking up.

September 3, 2020 - Lemon rind,
Rich yet balanced acidity. A big chardonnay.
Very long finish with a good amount of complexity. An excellent chardonnay for the price!

August 26, 2020 - It’s been 3 years since last bottle, checking in. Still has lots of verve and full fruit enjoyment. Plenty of rich/lush pineapple, green apple and lemon lime, has taken on slightly deeper gold color, more prominent straw and yeasty nose. This is structured and acidic (in good way) versus creamy butter bomb. Very good QPR, has several more years left. Drink now and savor over a few hours, or cellar confidently.
