May 18, 2021 - White flowers, lemon zest, meyer lemon, yellow peach, nectarine. Oak influence is very subtle here. The fruits rule. Medium + bodied, medium acid. Still developing, will go for a couple more years.

May 2, 2021 - Medium to full bodied, yet ethereal and light on its feet.
Lemon verbena, sweet lime, mango, and hints of pineapple or lulo fruit are generous and vibrant. Light oak, earth, and chalk round out the long finish. No big butterscotch flavors with this Chardonnay. Excellent effort, drink now - 2025.2 people found this helpful Comment
