June 4, 2011 - I purchased this on Windbid only on the one review on Cellertracker.Thank God for that review as this wine is flat out amazing. Deep golden in color. Wonderful thick mouth feel. Gobs of tropical fruit and cotton candy almost making the wine taste sweet as if was a late harvest. Finish goes on forever. I have never had a California Chardonnay that I can recall as better and this wine was bested only by 1986 Drouhin Montrachet as the best Chardonnay I have ever tasted. Bravo

February 4, 2010 - 96 yes. Extrondinary. Absolutly lovely! Big rich gorgeous chardonnay. Has now matured and rounded out and drinking beautifully. 18 mths ago although lovely a little sweet and high alcohol. Now so rounded, truffles (odd perhaps but stogonoff came to mind but it works beautifully), cream, thick, strong deep golden yellow - pure necter and a finish that goes on for ever leaving you wanting more! Thank you Chris!
