November 1, 2023 - Opens to orchard fruit, citrus, minerals, and fresh herbs. The palate displays nice brightness, freshness, and backbone, with a light prick that makes it come across as sassy. Picks up citrus pith on the long and refreshing finish. Nice.
May 23, 2023 - I usually don’t like Californian Chardonnays available in Austria (too much power and oak for my taste), but this is a real nice, well balanced one, comes near to Burgundy style.
April 13, 2023 - Was wanting to try this and was shocked it was on the menu. Great wine with a nice gold color. Butter, camomile, and pear. Very thick. Enjoyed it!
June 8, 2022 - Some nutty ripe fruit to it. But with some acidity on the palate. A bit discombobulated as it were.
May 17, 2022 - Begins with a strong citrus nose, primarily apricot and grapefruit before shifting to buttered bread and linen. When drank it first has a herbaceous flavor (undefined) before shifting to lemon curd and grapefruit. Very crisp and refreshing but not strong defined flavors.
February 2, 2022 - Well balanced and in the lighter side
September 1, 2021 - Plush soft broad flavored entry, as noted in other notes, Balanced, light acid, buttery pineapple and honeysuckle, a mouthful to gurgle with pleasure. Very well made says I. Not for acid crisp nor oakies Chard fans.
June 28, 2021 - Very well balanced between oak and butter with a nice touch of acid. Good, long finish -- better than most Chardonnays. Not a fruit bomb, but great with food.
November 17, 2019 - Sanford Chards & Pinots: Medium yellow color. So bright on the nose, with lime, kiwi, green and yellow apples, with honey, sea salt, nougat and ginger nuances. Plush, beautiful texture, bright acidity, balanced so well. Flavors of lemon curd, yellow apple and apricot, topped in sea salt, almond skin, hay, white tea. All the elements are woven together really well, and this is so bright, pretty and also age-worthy. There’s a lot to unpack in here over the next few years.
