June 27, 2017 - Impressive acid and judicious oak, especially by Shafer standards, make this lively and quite interesting. In a blind flight it might have fooled me for hot vintage Burgundy, Cru Macon in particular. It should last for several more years, and perhaps improve marginally.

February 7, 2015 - Tons of honeysuckle, lemon zest and a little butter. Really good Chardonnay.

July 30, 2014 - This wine is rocking; it has a few more years in it. Light gold color, modest oaky/buttery notes with solid green fruit flavors, hints of caramel, and mild acidity.
