January 23, 2020 - Kalin is so variable that when you see a dark gold bottle of Chardonnay it's hard to have much hope. Well, this bottle astounded me. No bruised apples and only the slightest hint of butterscotch, there was so much life and complexity in here. Honey, mint, smoke, pineapple, followed by waves of lime juice acidity. Incredible.
