October 27, 2022 - IMHO, one of the best $25 bottle of single vineyard CA Chardonnay on the market. Extremely well balanced and not over the top, no ripe, flabby fruits, nor is it excessively oaked. See my prior note from August 2021.

October 18, 2022 - All that has been already said before, buy a few if you can find it, creamy not buttery, citrus, acidity, light, floral, absolutely delicious chardonnay. An unusually pleasant chardonnay. Will be on the hunt for more!

May 8, 2022 - Quite nice. Medium body with a slightly creamy mouthfeel from the batonnage which others have described. Primary flavors are in the citrus and orchard realm: lemon curd, yellow apple, peach. There’s a backbone of acidity which carries it all along nicely.

February 27, 2022 - Opened and pnp'd. The nose was floral with a hint of citrus. The palate was as other trackers have written "creamy" with hints of lemon curd, pineapple and just a touch of wood. The finish was moderate. Served with Sunday Night Sushi.
