  November 25, 2021 - Pear, lemon, baking spices, some noticeable oak too. It is a very nice California Chardonnay (unmistakable), and if it is the style you like, then this is a great bottle aged perfectly. While I enjoyed it, I am more of a burgundy fan, so a less buttery finish would be welcome.

  November 20, 2021 - Buttery popcorn aroma with some nice ripe citrus fruit and floral notes. The flavor is fresh, ripe lime, lemon, green apple skin, pear and pineapple. A little oaky for my taste, but very good nonetheless. Perfectly aged — this is in a really good spot right now, starting to show some age but the fruit is still fresh and ripe.

  May 23, 2021 - Buttery, tropical and just good. Everything I love in a classic Chardonnay. Outstanding

  April 30, 2021 - Lovely nose of wet stone, toasted oak, thyme, banana, and light golden raisin (in a good way) on the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced and nuanced. Chablis-like, with a nod to California. One of my favorite WS Chards. Very nice. Drinking nicely now, but not a huge hurry.
