October 21, 2020 - Chalky minerality and bright clean aromatics of mint and unripe lemon. Tangy acidity. At Healdsburg tasting room with Molly Feeney, Toni, Gary and Nancy.

October 11, 2020 - Tropical fruit, light salinity, med full body, lower acidity, hint of tropical fruit on finish. Neutral oak. Excellent.

June 11, 2020 - Decanted for one hour before tasting. Nothing much there until another hour. Big tropical fruit with a little oak. I would say this is more California style than their other Chardonnays. I think this will age a little longer than most Lioco Chardonnays. Will hold for a least another two years before trying another one.
