11 years down the road and this bottle was singing! nose of white flowers, stone fruit, and some citrus. on the palate the wine has some tropical notes along with pear, lemon curd, and just a touch of oak. one of my best bottles from this case so far..........developed nicely over an hour and half drinking window. medium straw yellow with precise balance and acidity. perhaps a little richer than prior years but what a finish.

Fairly consistent with previous bottle from March 2020. Wonderful nose, lemon, lime zest, herbs, Madagascar vanilla and brioche. Great balance, delicate but with enough dept of flavors. My last bottle and if I had more I would drink them this year. Last bottle was slightly better. Perfect example of California coastal Chardonnay

Nice medium gold-yellow color. Wonderful nose, lemon, lime zest, herbs, Madagascar vanilla, coconut and pie crust. Reminds me a bit of a lemon meringue pie. With air it opens up to some light floral notes. Excellent depth and flavours upon tasting it. This wine delivers from the first second all the way into a very balance flavour curve and finish! Not overdone or boring or flat in any way. Oak and alcohol seamless integrated. Lemon, green apples, and pear on the finish. This is outstanding and in its prime now!

Petrol (night 1 only), lemon, melon on nose/palate. Full body, high acidity, long finish. Would buy again.
