  November 18, 2023 - Balanced. Stone fruit with a hint of butter. Probably needed to be cooler than cellar temp.

  November 3, 2023 - Nice straw colour with attractive bouquet. It's got big ripe melon pear nectarine redattractive flavour even chilled. Fairly high oak but good structure and acidity so a good finish. I really like the wine and the QPR. Could cellar a few years too.

  September 18, 2023 - This is a typical California chardonnay in the New World style. It's a big chardonnay. It's 14.4% alcohol indicates its ripeness. The oak is quite evident and adds some butterscotch and nuttiness. Even though I've drunk plenty of grand cru white Burgundies, I still like this wine with its ability to stand up to full flavored foods. Of course, the price is reasonable relative to the Burgundies.

  September 8, 2023 - Antonio Galloni is spot on with his Vinous review. Very nice Chardonnay especially at super-sale price I purchased at.

  September 1, 2023 - Pale yellow/straw color opulent nose. Boisterous palate of apple, butterscotch and lemon and the back end and into the long finish. We’ll balance. 14.4% but you don’t taste it.
