Community Tasting Notes 6

  February 13, 2023 - Retail $55. I last opened a bottle of this two years ago and I have to admit that the tasting notes are pretty spot on. Like I said in the previous note, on the continuum of fruity and fresh to oaky and buttery, this definitely trends toward the latter. That does not scare me in the slightest (although I prefer my Chardonnay with a defter hand), but this is not a Chard for the Anything But Chardonnay crowd. At. All.

  May 10, 2021 - Retail $55. I bought three bottles of this wine from Wine.com way back in 2011 and while this is the first I *remember* tasting, there is but one bottle left in the cellar. #GriftHappens Well, certainly golden in the glass, but no signs of oxidation on the nose, just tons of honeyed, even candied lemon curd, laden with heavy doses of vanilla and oak. Yeah, this is a big’un, certainly in the style of those late 90s California Chards. The big difference? While all of that lemon chiffon pie, oak, butter, and vanilla are certainly there on the palate, there is also an acidity that breaks through and lets the others know who is really in charge. Certainly not my style of Chard, but there is no doubt that this is extremely well-made and a fabulous wine.

  April 22, 2019 - Bright yellow color. More acidic than I normally enjoy. It is rich with tropical flavors such as mango, pineapple, and honeysuckle. Enjoyable, but would not be a favorite.

  November 24, 2011 - Perfect pairing with a creamy butternut squash soup. Fabulous chard. Non oaky, nice fruit, minerality and acidity.
