July 9, 2023 - A pretty stellar Chard. Just a light bit of oaky butteriness. Great flavors. Very well balanced. Definitely a special bottle.

March 26, 2023 - Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Medium straw color. Tangy apple and pear fruit. Excellent balance. Plenty of mid palate lift. Good QPR.

January 23, 2023 - Probably one of the very best Chardonnays I’ve ever tasted. Beautiful color, crisp, bright, a lot of citrus, lemon specifically. Pear and minerality are next. Doesn’t really strike me as a Chardonnay, but maybe I’ve not been exposed to many great Chardonnays. :-)

July 21, 2022 - Perhaps the best Chardonnay I’ve had. Saintsbury and this are in a class by themselves. Delicious lemongrass. Pear. Maybe some apple? Minerality. Perfect acidity. Incredible balance. Just amazingly easy to drink.
