March 31, 2024 - Straw color.
Yes, it’s buttery, creamy even (and I’m here for it)! Oaked.
Pineapple, star fruit, lemon
Superb for the price! -

February 14, 2024 - Took an hour or two to open up. Faint, but pleasant, nose. Medium golden color. Very high acidity dominates the fruity, oaky body. Nice finish. Food wine, would not drink on its own. Needs something to play against. Very good structure, will last for a while, and may even improve. Nice effort.

December 22, 2023 - Retail $25. Under cork. 100% Chardonnay. The scores here on CT are a bit worrisome: 82 and 85. Yikes. While few (any?) would confuse this with Le Montrachet, it is not nearly as bad as the two previous reviewers would have you believe. It is fruity for sure on the nose with tons of tropical and tree fruit, as well as a bit of oak (I could not find any info on the oak program for this wine online). On the palate, while not a full-blown example of cougar juice, it is, perhaps, more of a "classic California Chardonnay" as the fruit, buttery aspect (although again, no information about malolactic fermentation to be found online), and, yes, oak, all figure rather prominently. Is that a bad thing? well, it depends whom you ask. If you ask me? While not my preferred style of Chardonnay, I do think it does have its place. Very Good. 88 Points.
