July 31, 2013 - Still has freshness and nice complexity. Oak is well integrated and noticeably adds to the wine.

March 3, 2012 - Tasted 3/3/2012. Retail: $40. I paid $35 at the winery. I went down to the cellar and got this as I realized we were running out of white. Friends of ours were over and we are going with them to Sonoma on Spring Break. We have an appointment to go to Freeman, so I thought this would be a nice preview. Wow, this (after the Krug, of course) might have been wine of the night. Just the right amount of oak (a bit more than the Clos Pepe–this was clearly more Californian in style, whereas the CP was more restrained). Rich unctuous mouthfeel, very long finish. Outstanding.

September 18, 2011 - Opened not decanted and served slightly chilled. Compared to the other 3 chards, more complex, nuanced, with lemon, honey and mineral notes; ends with a slight sweet finish. Good +
