  April 23, 2023 - Further to TN from May 16, '21: A bit leaner than I remember. Still enjoyable but not for long keeping, I think.

  May 16, 2021 - Bought 6b for 16/b (after 4/b rebate) 2+ years ago from a local retail chain; this is #2. Medium gold; white stone fruits, some pineapple, restrained oak; white stone fruits, bit of oak, may become more Burgundian; good persistence. Certainly tasty, will last a while (the '13 is currently fine and holding well). Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation (see earlier posts for my 4-category, non-point rating system): This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

  May 10, 2021 - Very California treatment of the grape, full bodied, rich, buttery, good flavors, enjoyable for that when that is a good fit, but no room for a lot of nuance or complexity beyond that.

  September 24, 2020 - I tried. Again and again. I simply don't get the appeal. Seems like an expensive lab product. I can not concentrate on usual suspect descriptors for Cali chards as my mind wanders into 80's overpowering scents (Azzaro for Men anyone?). Just overdone, somewhat flabby. I'll stop here.

  December 21, 2019 - Definitely new world in style but not over done by any stretch. Nose of buttery lemon with a nice and clean palate of lemony custard.
