November 6, 2014 - Gold in color. 14.2% ABV. Super aromatics of flowers, minerals and lemon mousse. Strong acidity. Rich and viscous on the palate. Flavors of lemon oil, green apple, key lime pie, toast and pear. The finish is exceptional. The best single vineyard Chardonnay from Rochioli and on a short list with the likes of Marcassin and Kongsgaard when I could consider the best Chardonnay from California. Drink over the next 1-3 years.

October 16, 2013 - good but missing that additional level of acidity to give the wine real lift and life to take it to the next level. nonetheless solid

October 25, 2012 - Yellow color. Heavy oak with some banana notes and a mineral earthy streak. The oak is obtrusive to me. The palate is medium weight showing some complexity and a little heat. Drink up.
