October 14, 2023 - Still incredible. Beautiful golden color with lemon curd notes and a full creme brule' like finish.

July 2, 2022 - PnP. Medium light gold. Quite similar to notes from last bottle. High acid and rather light in body; interesting wine and unlike others from that neighborhood.

March 14, 2022 - Gold color, a lot of lemon and zest and raciness but a bit too lush for my taste. A bit of bee pollen that adds complexity but also makes the wine a bit disjointed in my opinion. Still one of the best chardonnays I’ve had from NorCal.

December 20, 2021 - Yellow gold, medium bodied with whiffs of pear, lemon-citrus that paired incredibly with pan seared speckled trout topped with lump crab in lemon/butter- caper sauce. Swoon time.
