Last tasted five years ago with similar nose. Nice gold color. Great nose with peaches, apricots, citrus, honey, and hints of floral. Medium to full bodied wine, well balanced, nice complexity an a medium to long finish.

Last bottle. Nice nose with citrus, peaches, melon, honey, slight floral. Inviting nose. the palate started seemingly on the sherried side. I was worried it may be getting over the hill. It just needed some time. Layers of flavor with peach, melon, honey. Very smooth with a longer finish. Good acidity and balance, not flabby at all. Not alcoholic or hot. Still probably better a year ago.

Citrus, peaches, apricots, melons, honey, and hints of floral. Medium to full bodied wine with a medium to long finish. I suspect it will benefit from a couple more years in the bottle before opening another one.

Decent CA Chardonnay, balanced in a RRV way, but too heavy, alcoholic and rich for my taste. I could find something to pair it with, but better as an aperitif and move on to something more refined. I would rather drink Bourgogne.

I enjoyed this, though others did so slightly more than I. Full bodied wine. Honey / Melon / Mineral / Citrus on the nose. While this is definitely a California Chard it wasn't over the top. Solid balance to it throughout the wine. I honestly don't have enough experience with Rochioli to know how long this will last, but I think it can improve a little and drink well for a few more years.

full bodied. Nice oak with honeysuckle and melon notes. Medium long finish backed by subtle minerality

Well balanced highly extracted Chardonnay. Melon notes with caramel. Minerality with gentle oak and veryong complex finish. Beautiful.
