Aromas of papaya, mango, banana, nutmeg and lemon meringue. Flavors of lemon meringue, papaya, mango, pineapple and touch of mineral. Ends with a 40-45 second finish with tropical fruit notes. This is quite nice still and no where near falling apart.

Much improved over the previous bottle. Golden yellow in color. Nice nose of citrus and tropical fruits. Great depth and rich mouthfeel that one does not find in a CA chardonnay very often. Tastes of citrus, tropical fruits, and a slight hint of wood. We liked it so much that we drank the entire bottle in one evening! There is no hint of this wine being too old or too tired.

Clear gold color. Lemon and hint of tropical fruit on the nose, with oak notes. The nose implies a very full body, but on the palate it has strong minerality, hints of sweetness, and ends very long finish. Overall very balanced, this is a very well made wine.

We drank this bottle when it was too cold even after it sat in a decanter. As it warmed, it showed more of the qualities other reviewers have mentioned. I think it was too disorganized to honestly say what was going on. Initially, I thought it might have gone bad, but later on it seemed terrific. This was our first bottle and I will have to get busy opening the others since I can't quite believe it will last more than another year in spite of being cellared.
