  This has integrated nicely since my last go in 2019. Terrific complexity. Getting closer to a lean bodied feel. A bit rough at the finish but I'm starting to expect that with these wines. The expression trumps the build most often. This vintage doesn't quite have the heft for a real long sleep in my estimation. One to drink while the denser vintages age. These wines can be quite compelling.

  Nice fruit- apricot, slight peach, lime, orange - nice citrus, nice floral, honeysuckle, good acidity. Bright. Really enjoyable.

  Medium gold. A lovely mature wine with a shy nose that nonetheless shows beautiiful tones of dried fig and sourdough toast. Rich salty fig and dried apricot fruit on the palate supporting a prominent winding of acid. Very long sinuous finish. What a lovely wine moving into wise old age.

  One of the best chardonnays we have had as it has lovely acidity with hint of salinity balanced with citrus and a hint of spice. Very complex.
