August 20, 2023 - nicely done, clean - no oxidation which plagues kistler chardonnays, terrific minerality.

August 3, 2023 - Sensational wine! Decanted for 30 minutes and drank over the next hour. Got better and better the longer it breathed and the more it warmed up. One of the best examples of California fruit and a Burgundian approach to the vineyards and wine making I’ve ever had. If you’re fortunate enough to have some, decant a bottle and enjoy!

November 26, 2020 - Pear, pineapple, slate, and citrus in a high-acidity package. I drink few whites but this is one that I can enjoy. Not as buttery as some chardonnays but a nice, crisp wine.
