  In fine shape, better than a bottle two years ago, and shows well for its age though more about stoney minerality than fruit at this point. Drink, don't hold.

  Still quite good; few signs of age. Wes Hagen, we miss you!

  Very unusual for an American chardonnay. Nose of Vitamin B and gunpowder with mild pear and lemon fruit on the palate.

  Identical to April's bottle. On cruise, and should hold here for a few years.

  The best possible intersection of old world ideas and new world fruit, my perfect kind of chardonnay. Pale yellow, intense yet generous, steely but fruity, thrilling acidity and absolutely nothing tropical about it. And it doesn't show any age. This is a California chardonnay that ages like real Burgundy, and '14 was the kind of vintage that will age well. These should chill till 2024 easy.
