Last tasted 3 years ago and time has been good to it! Same notes but it seems more integrated and lush. I really enjoyed this wine. Enjoyed with cheese but a good choice to stand alone enjoyment or with lighter fare foods.

Really beautiful. Maybe not super standout for its level, but a gorgeous Chard with both richness and elegance. A bit reticent right now, but not closed. Notes of lemon bars, almond, vanilla bean, powdery and dense, and beautifully integrated acidity. Felt like a sort of "predictable" version of an excellent chard that needs a few years in the cellar- new-world in terms of richness, just a contemporary version, not even close to overdone. Easy 94-95 with some bottle age, and it could probably go for a while.

Although there are beautiful aromatics coming through, this wine is so soft and approachable with its delivery, it is what makes this Chardonnay so “craveable”. White fleshy fruits, meringue; just delicious.

Classic California -- or, more specifically, classic Santa Rita Hills. A Chard that does it all -- fruit, acid, minerality and a touch of vanilla.
