May 10, 2024 - Even better than I remember it from the winery - cleaner, leaner and more Burgundian, though with a bright lemon yellow hue. Nicely balanced with enough mid-palate acidity to provide intrigue, as to have me wanting more when the bottle was done. A great testament to any Cali Chard; particularly from me, as a self-professed ABC drinker. Though I can hardly believe I paid the price that I did, I enjoyed it enough as to not have buyer’s remorse.

February 4, 2021 - Pop and pour. Super tart flavors at first, but after some time in my decanter this eased into a nice Chardonnay. Aromas of pears, lemons, lime, and honey. Palate was good. The lemon/lime thing I enjoy came through, but so did a touch of heat. 14.5% alcohol was noticeable.
