On day 1 this was slightly flat, but gained vibrancy on day 2. Still could use some more acidity for my tastes to balance the rich texture. It’s not a bad wine, and I love Eyrie’s reds, but WV Chardonnay is such a competive and exciting landscape right now that I no longer buy much of this.

Excellent bottle of well crafted wine! Has it all: great savory white fruits, backing acidity, good mineral sense of place & nice length for a modest priced OR Chard!

Delicious. I purposely didn’t tell my wife what it was, and she guessed what I already thought: a good Chassagne Montrachet Villages. Well-balanced with some stone fruit and good acidity. This may not improve but it’s certainly worth drinking now!

Similar to prior notes. This will easily age another several years, but I couldn't resist.

Similar notes as last time. It does have some nice orchard fruit, a little lemon, a hint of oak and a medium finish. It’s just not my style.
