    June 29, 2017 - Fantastic. Drinking beautifully. Nuts vanilla dark fruits smoke. What a pleasure. And a surprise all these years later. Good until '20 at least.

    February 9, 2013 - This really aged beautifully. Complex, flavorful.

    February 5, 2012 - Golden yellow colour, citrus nose. Acid has melted away, and heat is emerging. Fun, but on the decline.

    November 28, 2008 - Yeasty nose with smooth restrained chardonnay character typically more reminiscent of Burgundy than California. Some citrus notes seemed the defining fruit.

    August 15, 2007 - CB: Had next to an 05 Ramey RRV Chard. These wines couldn't be more different, yet for the first time tasting two very different and distinct wines I honestly had no clue which one I liked better!! In the end I decided that this wine was more impressive in its complexity and flavors than the Ramey but it was darn close. I should have taken notes at the time but failed to do so. I do remember that the color was a bit cloudy, the palate was of medium weight with notes of lemon and a hint of oakiness but in a very integrated manner. Long finish. Great wine.
