February 7, 2018 - 3-Day Napa Cab Taste-Off: Vice Versa, B Cellars, Memento Mori, Alpha Omega, Purlieu, Janzen, Realm, Myriad, MACDONALD, Maybach, and more...; 2/7/2018-2/9/2018 (Napa): This Chardonnay strikes a nice balance between the plushness of a domestic white and the restraint of a more classical version of the varietal. Fresh and fairly lively, with decent energy and lift to push the pleasurable (yet fairly familiar and predictable) flavors of yellow citrus, yellow pear, light honey, and some subtle minerality.
This had brief moments of being a tad pithy and linear on the back end, but otherwise a light and inviting summer-type of sipper.

November 7, 2017 - Napa Valley Wine and Food Excursion 2017; 11/7/2017-11/11/2017 (Napa Valley, California): Effusive of pineapple, guava, citrus, melon and honey aromas, this light golden Chardonnay goes on to deliver similar flavors on a medium-bodied palate. Partially barrel fermented and oak-aged, with only 35% of the final product allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation, it retains good freshness. The middle palate is solid and the oak is fairly well-integrated. Finishing long but with a whiff of heat from its (listed) 14.4% alcohol, this is an enjoyable wine but perhaps should be chilled a bit more than usual. Drink now-2022.
