April 23, 2024 - I didn’t believe it till I tasted it. Blinded you would think Le Montrachet. Green golden straw colored. Perfect coloring. Medium to full bodied and RICH. Stone fruits, oily white flowers and rocky minerality on the nose. Acacia, sweet white peach and flint on the palate. OMG this wine is soooo good. The only limiting factor for 97-98 for me was a little bit acidic and thin on the finish. But that’s just me. Smarter people than me ranked this 98+ and i totally get it. Highly recommended. What a treat. Cheers

January 21, 2024 - This is a light straw colored wine. It has a significant nose of pear and tropical fruits. It was in a very reductive state out of the bottle, and it improved significantly with several hours of air and some warming. This is a complex wine on the palate with tropical fruits, pineapple, vanilla, and some salinity. It has a soft consistency with ample body. The finish is fresh and generous. I've bought numerous vintages of this wine over the last 15 years, and it's a very consistent wine year after year. This is a distinct chardonnay that's very well made.

January 9, 2024 - Bursting with sweet fruits, especially green apple. Not much tannin. Standard nose for a Chardonnay. Buttery and Oakey. Tastes slightly more alcoholic than other chards, but that is offset by stronger flavors of fruit
