Easily one of the best Chardonnays from California. I was hesitant to give 97 but damn this is good, notes of ripe orchard fruit, asian pear, crème brûlée and nutmeg. The palate is succulent and layered with rich Asian fruit, sea salt and vanilla tart flooding the palate, the mid-palate wonderfully layered slight rich yet with this vibrant energy throughout, finishing long and energetic. Wow! Top 3 Chardonnay I have ever tasted.
Marvelous crisp citrus flavors including apricot and lemon. The effervescence has resolved (disappeared). This wine is evolving beautifully and has plenty more life. This well-made, full bodied Cali chardonnay can easily go a decade if properly cellared.

Just a delicious , well balanced, classic Californian Chard. Amongst the best. Buttery, with nice acidity. Creamy with tropical notes.
Just delicious.
Case worthy.

Great balance, very good acid, giving it many more years.
