July 8, 2023 - We drank over two nights...Yellow/gold color, med+ acidity less so the second day. Tropical fruit, a touch of creaminess with a long finish. Our only bottle of Chard from Lato. His PN's are fantastic as well!

April 4, 2021 - Fantastic and dream-like Chardonnay. Medium-bodied with perfumed nose and delicate floral aromas. Elegance and grace on the palate with tremendous flavor nuance - white peach, white flower, so delicate and surreal. Dances across palate and beckons you back for more. Fresh and light on its feet. Just delightful.

March 10, 2021 - 14.1% abv. Beautiful yellow gold color, glass coating viscosity. Expressive nose. Med plus weight, great mouthfeel, hits second gear mid palate with plenty of tropical and stone fruits, background tannins, and a long finish. My first Paul Lato - I’ll be looking for this wine and producer more often, bravo.
