June 8, 2022 - Lovely, balanced and elegant, Burgundian but with a little more fruit. Nectar.

August 18, 2020 - Strikingly well balanced, especially for a CA-style Chardonnay. Bright acidity and sharp minerality keep the oaky truffles, white chocolate, and butter scotch in check, allowing delicious, juicy pineapple and apricot to.feature in the lifted finish.

June 29, 2020 - Bracing minerality dominates, with a bit of discreet oak. Seemed Chablis-like, which is a nice quality to see in a CA Chardonnay.
