  A bit heavy for my taste. Too much butter, not enough acidity.

  Opened one hour in advance, overcoming the annoying wax seal. Aroma of fresh baked bread and citrus. Surprisingly rich (given the aroma) flavors of stone fruit with pineapple. Pineapple finish.
  
  Pineapple is not among my favorite chardonnay elements, but it works here. This is not an over-the-top, ripe, tropical full bore chardonnay. It's nuanced, with an intriguing bitterness, good backbone, and just a bit of funk. Very well done.

  Well balanced - not a typical cali chard. Lacks earthiness, but nice interplay of fruit and acidity.

  Red apple, pear, lemon, mint, with vanilla(oak). A bit harsh on the finish. Could use 6 months more bottle age. Pale straw color. Only bought one, but always have heard good things from this producer. Will look for it in the future
