  June 11, 2023 - A good company for food in the summer. Though lack of depth, complexity and elegance, it is easy to drink and so fresh.

  April 30, 2023 - Pale lemon.
  Similar comments to 10/20, maybe a little less acidity.
  Gooseberry, lemon, peach with a little toast/hazelnut on the palate.
  Drinking well and should continue to do so for 4/5 years.

  September 10, 2022 - Nose of hazelnut, mineral, hint of lime, poached pear and cracker. Flavors of mineral, lemon zest, sour patch kid, lime and star fruit. Ends with a 15+ second finish with minera and quince notes. Had a little weirdness to it when I first opened it but after that drank pretty nice.

  October 16, 2021 - I guess I had their Mâté’s vineyard on my mind when I opened it & was initially disappointed. Per the other notes, this wine has crispness and minerality, with a tropical candy finish. Nice.. but lacks the substance & finish of their higher end label.

  September 13, 2021 - PnP. Highly mineral on the nose with some lemon zest. Silky mouth texture with lemon and lime citrus and delicate oak. White grapefruit on the second glass. Maybe a little salinity. Citrus zest on the finish. All beautifully in balance. Burgundian. Intensity a little lacking which remained overnight, but this is an excellent, great value, Chardonnay. I’m looking forward to trying KR’s single vineyard options.
