  August 9, 2010 - Drinking nicely as the oak has fully integrated and shows nice balance of creamy pear/apple and soft toasty notes.

  June 21, 2010 - Love this Cali Chard. Big butter and oak on both nose and palate. Drinking very well now, I believe this has plenty of meat on its bones to stand up to cellaring 5 or more years. General concensus at a recent dozen-person oenophile tasting was this wine MATCHED OR BETTERED 10 and 20yr old white Burgundies.

  February 5, 2010 - This chardonnay, unlike so many others, improves with age. As a wine club member, I got a great deal that enabled me to acquire 3 cases. Now beginning case 3, and if anything it is showing better than it did two years ago. For this one, might have to keep a couple bottles around a decade or two and compare to some of the haughty french whites with similar vintage...

  November 27, 2009 - well balanced from start to finish. "butter" is on target as well; oak balanced from begining to end; nice finish, some tropical fruit flavor but balanced by the acid.
