Popped and poured. Pretty nose with tropical fruits, flowers and vanilla. Full bodied, fully mature but showing nice balance and acidity. This cuvee always delivers.

Popped and poured. Early maturity. Really lovely, full bodied but retaining good balance. Lovely floral and lemony nose is followed by a deep complex palate with textbook finish. This is in a great drinking window now but can go for another 3-5 years.

This is really excellent. Light to medium gold but still in early maturity. This has a terrific floral nose with hints of marmalade and tropical fruit. The wine is full bodied but not at all heavy and has that mixture of striking tropical flavors with minerality that I really like in these wines. The wine is very well integrated with terrific concentration and a long complex finish. I would drink this in the next two to three years.

Really quite lovely expression of California Chardonnay, concentrated yet not overblown or overdone. Primary fruit expression is tangerine with hints of lemon and melon. Full, flavorful, nice balance without excessive alcohol. One glass quickly leads to the next.
