  July 18, 2010 - I opened the wine and I detected a strange smell. I was afraid the wine had a bad cork. I tried the wine and it was rather odd. Some sips I swear I could taste cork while others the wine tasted fine. When it did taste ok you had a very typical California Chardonnay with some nice apple, pear and vanilla flavors. I remember this being a little fresher when I had it last year but that could be because of its age.

  October 22, 2009 - This is bad, even compared to other cheap California chardonnays. Very manipulated and artificial, a crime against the Chardonnay grape.

  September 22, 2009 - Mature for an '06, I'm not familiar with the usual style for this wine, but frankly, even with a bit of oxidation, this was an enjoyable wine -- very Burgundian with rich pear, fig, and honeycomb flavors that are nicely layered and well balanced.

  May 2, 2009 - Bit buttery nose, with lush butterscotch, tropical nose. Full and rich in the mouth. Very nicely done for the style.
