This is my last bottle of this wonderful Chardonnay. Golden color. Nose of apple, peach, vanilla, and some tropical fruit. Silky palate of luscious ripe fruit in a Burgundian style: powerful, but light on its feet. Energetic, food-friendly acidity. Subtle oak. Beautiful balance

Unsurprisingly Peter Michael-like on the nose, showing tons of pineapple, rich melon and baked fruit notes complimented by well integrated oak, this is round but a bit light on the palate, lacking the concentration the nose suggests.

As French as California wine gets at this price point. Outstanding effort.

An outstanding wine. Round, mature fruit tastes, balanced with oak.

Light gold. Nose of apricot & melon. Ripe, full palate of peach, apricot, melon & apple. Superb length. Focused acidity. Outstanding Cali Chard.

Served to out of town guests. No notes. Really lovely, expressive Chardonnay. Nose was a little reticent. Otherwise superb.
