January 1, 2024 - I like the way this Chardonnay has evolved over a number of vintages. It used to be very acidic and citrus dominated. In recent vintages I get more orchard fruit and stone fruit, and a bit less acidity. Seems to be more in balance and inviting. A bit of sandalwood or balsa along with the fruit. Very enjoyable but QPR is not there compared to other reasonably priced offerings.
September 7, 2023 - My earlier notes still apply.
May 5, 2023 - Overpriced for quality.
April 15, 2023 - Drink now...or at least in the next 1 - 2 years in order for this wine to peak. Flavors and aromas are balanced along with the acidity and alcohol content.
March 2, 2023 - I agree with everyone else....this is a nice sipping chard with flavors of honeydew melon and pears with a slight lemon. I believe this wine has more life...hold another 2 years.
November 28, 2022 - Always a great Chard with oak and butter. Just the way I like it.
November 24, 2022 - Don’t like Chardonnay but this is solid. Lemony citrus.
November 22, 2022 - Light golden color. Essence of green apples, pears, hibiscus, honeydew melon and white peaches. Nice mouthfeel and layers of pears, green apples, white peaches and light citrus fruit.
August 1, 2022 - A nice chard with notes of apple, citrus, honeysuckle, well balanced with good acidity.
June 20, 2022 - Pale yellow. An appealing and fresh though very straightforward nose, offers aromas of both green and yellow apples, baked pear tart, underripe pineapples, lemons, citrus blossoms and just a small touch of toast and oak spice. On the palate this is just medium bodied with medium+ acidity, it is brighter and leaner and crisper than the nose suggests, with lively green apple flavors. I'm not sure this is worth its asking price, but it is tasty.
