Absolutely loved this. Still has purity of fruit. Very California in style (was expecting more Burgundian from what the wine merchant told me), but delicious tropical fruits without being cloying or over-oaked. K & P loved.

Quite simply a phenomenal wine. Complex structure with aromas of white fruit, exotic citrus and minerals. Elegant mouthfeel and layers of flavors lead to a long, seductive finish. Paired with Manilla Clams with Tasso Ham and wasabi cream sauce.

Huge aromas of candied pears and minerals jump from the glass. The nose is almost too intense. The mouth is a treat with pineapple, pears and some pine nuts balanced superbly with fine acidity and minerals. Top notch New World Chard.

Wow this wine is good. A daunting nose of minerals, pears, very floral, and it keeps changing in the glass. A real creaminess in the mouth with pretty low acidity. A long, smooth finish.

A bit over the edge, darker color so it was showing signs that this should be drunk now!

Oak, butter, lemon curd nose. Good acidity, some mineral battles the appalling amount of oak. No thanks.

Loved this. Wish we had more. Everything you'd want in a chardonnay and still not over the hill. Good nose, good acidity, bright flavors.
