September 5, 2022 - This is very well made, although not my style. Less oaked than I recall, and certainly holds up to the cellar. Some modest lemon along with the vanilla malolactic thing. Citrus very much helps here. Medium length finish. Price feels appropriate.

August 22, 2019 - True to to the Wagner Family template this is made in a ripe, buttery, malo style. The oak influence is obvious but it’s offset by a lively cut that frames lemon, stonefruit, and spicy oak flavors. It has a creamy texture and a lush mouthfeel which are capped off by brook stones and butterscotch on the finish. This is pretty tasty, very balanced too, but I like a little less oak in my Chardonnay.
