Medium lemon color. Pronounced nose. Lemon custard, honey, quince, popcorn, Smokey. Medium+ acidity, high alcohol, medium+ body. The high alcohol and the lees mask the fruit and the resulting sensation is a lack of freshness.

Sep 26th, 2023The “King of Chardonnay” Mike Grgich farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months, no MLF. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone & citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & lemon citrus flavors, with honeysuckle, vanilla & toasty oak notes. Nice balance with acidity on long finish with a toasty mineral ending. Not your typical CA Chard, very nice!

Jun 9th, 2023Pale lemon with complex aromas of fresh ripe citrus and tropical fruits with grassy floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, grapefruit and melon with lemongrass and floral herb notes. Long finish ending with juicy fruit, herb and grassy citrus notes, lively acidity with mineral character. Outstanding! Will reward with a few years of age!
