For a large production wine, this wine shows great minerality and acidity, and is as anti-ABC as CA chards come. Lovely citrus and flint flavors rounded off by lengthy acidic finish. Great wine!

This wine shows racy acidity for a Chardonnay. Plenty of citrus fruit on the palate, but as the wine lingers on the palate, sweet tastes of honey, tropical fruit, and toasted oak abound. The finish is surprisingly long and displays beautifully sweet and balanced Chardonnay fruit. My favorite Chardonnay.

Medium-gold colour. Toasty nose, restrained, with crème caramel notes. Fat and flabby wine, but not much fruit. Short finish, a little medicinal.
