October 22, 2020 - Zoom tasting with the wine group; 10/22/2020-10/23/2020 (Zoom): Tasted blind. Light golden; medium aromatics with slight butteriness, slight minerality, not quite butterscotch; palate is full bodied, medium-plus alcohol, medium balanced acidity, slight vanilla; finish is medium-minus length. A very nice Chardonnay, seems classical in style (likely classical California producer), youthful but seems like it has a few years of age on it. 90-91

July 29, 2020 - Beautiful night here, giving Champagne a break for a few days. Went to pull the 2013 Copain Brosseau but it was gone so grabbed my last 2015, actually my final Copain Brosseau Chard in my cellar. I've dug this plot since Wells made the first vintage starting in 2009. The 2015's acidity has pretty well softened and the wine is in a good place. Pineapple, yellow apples, oranges and a touch of citrus. The wine remains generous and balanced but I'd say it's ready to go and I'm catching my final bottle at a great time.

May 24, 2020 - Fantastic Chardonnay. Definitely different from a typical chard and really lovely. Soft, crisp, light fruit, great finish

May 21, 2020 - Medium light hay in color, hints of stone fruit and a Chablis-like sea spray note; wife’s first reaction was actually “Chablis”, which I think is apt, with lovely medium intensity and depth, amazingly sleek and taut for a California Chardonnay, with zippy acidity, some subtle saline weaving through the long, mineral finish. I’d love to have this bottle in a lineup of, say, Fevre grand cru. Bravo.
