Enjoyed this over 3 nights. Well balanced wine, with the delicate fruit, mineral, and floral nature that you want in a chard. Just a touch from greatness in the middle and end.

Gorgeous Chardonnay that's drinking quite well right now. Well integrated oak gives a nice richness to the body, and lots of mineral and some floral notes on the nose. Finish was good, with a touch of citrus.

Found this bottle in the half-off cart at Henn-Lake (probably because the label was scuffed) and drank it on the 4th of July. Enjoyed it very much but, due to the heat of the day, it was hard to control the temp so only caught glimpses of its full potential.

In its prime, and a treat to drink on the deck in the warm Seattle sun. Red delicious apple, some sweet grass, some nice minerality and a little peppery spice on the midpalate from the oak. Wish I had a few more bottles.

(Abeja Chardonnay Washington State) Lightly colored. A classic chardonnay nose with grass and mineral along with some tropical fruit. A thick, slightly buttery feel. A fair amount of oak but well integrated. Just a touch of spice and citrus on the finish. 100% Chardonnay. Sampled at 59 degrees.

Liked this the best of my 3 bottles - nice toasty finish showing with age.
