9.1

Lovely ruby red translucent color with aromas of black cherries and hint of blackberries. On the palate heavy over ripe fruit with high alcohol. Nonetheless in the mouth rich Pinot flavors that may mello with age. — 4 years ago

Light gold color with cloudy appearance. Lemon fruit on nose but feels thick and flabby in the mouth. Clarity and acidity are lacking. Not “my cup of tea”. — 4 years ago

Nice cork and color. Unfortunately the nose has a hint of Brett and is unpleasant on the initial intake. Upon airing the Brett nose did not abate thus the low score. — 4 years ago

Beautifully clear gold color. On the nose delightful lemon aromas. Early on thought acidity was low but as it aired lovely acidity developed as did the grape flavors. Very fine wine from south of San Francisco. I have to agree Rosemary’s challenges the California Chardonnay top tier. A very delightful and delicious wine. — 4 years ago

Awesome wine. Clear gold color. Bright lemon floral notes on nose with luscious smooth rich flavor. Incredible acid in the finish balances the alcohol which is 14.5%. Delicious with food; it really cleanses the palate. — 5 years ago
