  Light to medium bodied, light lemon peel, mandarin orange, minerals. This bottle wasn't as fresh as the ones enjoyed in 2022 and 2021: Not as vibrant mid-palate, the finish was shorter. Nonetheless, it was a good pairing with salmon shish kabobs.

  Elegant and precise. Clean and great acidity. Medium bodied with pale color. Hints of floral, crystallized ginger and pineapple. Alluring and compelling like all of Paul’s wines. Well made with stellar fruit.

  Great complexity, acidity, and balance. Paul and his team are really doing some incredible stuff.

  My initial thought was "bracing". This is not a chardonnay for lovers of butter / oak. Pale yellow, medium bodied. Lemony citrus-forward is balanced by minerality and unctuous finish. No idea as to long-term cellar aging potential but drinking so lovely, why wait?
