  February 24, 2014 - Agree with previous review, nice and light-lacks complexity-but no false oak and doesn't get cloying. Decent wine.

  June 30, 2012 - Nice light chardonnay. Not a great deal of acidity or complexity but the fruit is good and it drinks well.

  October 1, 2010 - Decent chard, but I was hoping for more zing. I will probably pass next year.

  September 6, 2010 - I did not find this overoaked at all. It actually complemented the cheeses we were eating. Unusual for a chardonnay. Nice sipping wine for a warm night on the deck.
