  December 24, 2023 - PNP drank over several hours. Translucent gold in color. Needed 30 min to blow off and deepen. Tropical fruit on the aromatic nose and palate. Also, crème brûlée, some honey, Meyer lemon. The acidity is almost too much, perhaps the ripe fruit profile is fading. The pieces are interesting, just seems disjointed for my preference. I mostly drink my Chardonnay younger and from Oregon, so YMMV.

  March 21, 2022 - Gold in color. 14.1% ABV. Tremendous nose tropical fruits, lemon oil and vanilla creme brulee. Full bodied with exquisite acidity. Rich, creamy and well balanced. Pear, Meyer Lemon, pineapple and vanilla bean on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Delicious Chardonnay that is easy to drink. Always a great value. Best over the next 2-3 years.

  January 21, 2022 - Nice, but not as dynamic as other vintages. Clean, where I want more of that Sonoma Coast haze and tropical elements. Straightforward and a bit linear. Clear lemon notes, touch of salinity. Catalyst to open was receipt of the Chard heavy 2020 vintage mailer. With essentially no pinots on offer, went a little heavy on chards to support the cause so decided to make a little cellar room ;)
