  May 11, 2014 - Drank after a disappointing Far Niente Chard, thought this might get us back on track...
  
  Medium straw/gold color. Nose was in/out - showing then fading. Mostly giving oak, citrus. Palate was pineapple, lemon, honey. Medium finish with a bit too much heat. No real nuance or secondary flavors
  
  Martinelli is a great producer, this bottle is moving past its drinking window

  November 28, 2013 - Truly a fantastic nose! Wish the wine matched it. Based on nose, I was expecting an explosion of fruit but there wasn't much going on. The bones are there but no body.

  November 2, 2013 - Nice chardonnay fruit and it was overlaid with as much oak as I care to taste but just to the point before it would be off balance. I went back and forth trying to decide is it too much or not and in the end found I was still enjoying it so it was not too too much

  September 2, 2012 - Good on a hot day. Honeydew, pineapple, and lemon on the nose. Toast, butter, and creamy. Crisp finish. Equally as good Chardonnay's at half the cost in my opinion.
