Light canary gold color. Inspiring nose. Notes of citrus, white clay, cardamom, tan spice and some white flowers. Young and fat in the mouth at first, flabby. But with 7-8 hours of air, this explodes with acidity to match the voluptuous fruit. Long finish. Taken to the new Chez Noir in Carmel (really good food - they will eventually get a star!). Sadly my last bottle of this, which easily had 10+ more years to go. Outstanding juice. — 3 years ago
2019 | Chardonnay
Tan Fruit; Oak Grove Vineyard
Eola-Amity Hills; Willamette Valley, OR, USA
3H decant, then double-decant for service.
Salt dusted guava slice, cold wax; day old lemon zest, water with excessive lemon wedges, under-ripe pineapple. A nice effort, but how's this WA 98 points...? 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks @Delectable Wine for identifying this one, and Merry Christmas Eve to your lovely staff. ❤️ — 3 years ago
Nice young yellow canary color. Heavy in the glass. Tropical nose with notes of sea breeze, lemon, kiwi, white stones and tan spice. Glycerol and rich in the mouth. California like, but with nice Chablis nuances. I wonder how this will evolve over next 10 years. Maybe like 92’s? — 3 years ago
2019 opened May 2025. Freshly tan leather on the nose. Black cherries on the front. Medium tannic structure. Nice mix of mineral high notes and dark chocolate low notes on the mid palate and the back palate. Short finish. Adequate, but this is probably the best you can get in the $50 price range in the US. — a year ago
Very fruity for a cab, for me. Rich deel@berry flavor, light tan in. Would reach for again — 3 years ago
Last bottle of the trip, taken to Napua at the Mauna Lani. Canary gold color, bright and cheery in the glass. Notes of citrus and kiwi, tropical fruit, wet stones, tan spice, vanilla and white acacia flowers. Rich and glycerol in the mouth, matched with serious acidity. Paired perfectly with a nice Onaga fresh catch, which turned out to be the best prepared fish dish of the trip. Young but drinking well. Aloha! — 3 years ago
