There are several good things I like about this wine: the color, the nose, the body. But the flavor is a little “meh.” Tart and puckery for a cab. Strong oak and some fruits but not a lot of depth. Just okay for me. — 3 years ago
Really nice floral and pear nose and lovely crisp color. Bright and tart as a first taste but then it rounds out on the palate and finishes smooth and fruity. My most liked Sauvignon blanc thus far (not typically my favorite varietal). — 4 years ago
Very metallic and bitey. Lacks depth and round flavor. — 3 years ago
Tart and tight like a sauv blanc but with the nose and palate of a Chardonnay. Lacks depth and interest, for me. Though we had it with fish which is probably the best pairing. Or maybe a really sharp creamy cheese like a Stilton. — 3 years ago
Wow, so delicious. Lovely rich nose of cherry and leather. Gorgeous deep cherry color with a great body. Strong oak flavor. Very bold. — 4 years ago
This is a nice classic Napa Chardonnay. Oaky, buttery, smooth finish. Beautiful light golden color but with good body. I get some floral and pear notes. Not complex in flavor but yummy! — 3 years ago
This is not *bad.* My best description is that it’s just very one dimensional. Heavy oak, nice golden color, smooth mouthfeel with a tangy finish. But I think the oak over powers anything else. — 4 years ago

A nice Bordeaux - thinner body but deep full flavor. Fruit and leather with strong tannins. Would be great with a fatty meat or cheese board. — 4 years ago

Good mouthfeel and nice tannins with a strong leathery oak finish. Fruit on the front. Smooth for a Pinot. Tasty. — 3 years ago
