We had a different experience with the 2021 Tensley Fundamental Chardonnay than other reviewers. It offered apricot and citrus on both the nose and palate, in a balanced, slightly creamy base. Overall, a very good entry level Chardonnay to sip with food or on a warm afternoon.

The Vilafonte Series C is drinking phenomenally well now. If you have bottles, drink them now. WOW! Decanted 1 hour prior to serving. Perfect balance of fruit, acidity and velvety tannins. Plum, cherry, and fig pop through first followed by chocolate overtones. Bought direct from the winery upon release and stored in controlled facility. A tremendous result for Mike and his team. Thank you for making such a treat for our New Year’s Eve dinner.

Oh my. Drinking amazingly well. Totally integrated, with subtle cherry, plum overtones. Reports of 2018 drinking window way too young.
