March 10, 2023 - Medium gold color. Moderate oak body with moderate acidity. Apricot citrus. Hot finish as noted by others before with acidity and interestingly with a stated 13.4% alcohol which could be up to a percent off.

October 30, 2022 - Well balanced Chardonnay. Nice nose, a touch of oak but well integrated and enough acidity to balance things out. Very good with grilled chicken, broccoli, orzo, pesto, smokey bacon, green peas.

June 20, 2022 - What a beautiful wine. Bien Nacido fruit and is more of a lighter wine that is perfect for summertime backyard get togethers. Lemon rind and key lime pie, lemongrass with a huge pucker factor, honeysuckle trickling to the middle. Just when you thought this was going to go to a stone ground character it stays rather vibrant and fresh, crisp and acidic, and rather tart and light. Definitely a wine to pair with 100 degree summer days. I think this one will probably hold a couple more years quite easily. Really quite bracing and grippy, and was a delicious accoutrement to share with a nice lighter fare (grilled chicken and herbed baked black beans).
