Delicious full-flavored yet incredibly balanced wine. Fully ripe and luscious, yet look at the alcohol. Masterful.

One of my favorite chardonnays, washed down pumpkin soup and chicken croquettes perfectly, manages to be rich and decadent yet bright and only 12.8% alcohol

Delicious and super well balanced. This is ready to drink now but can withstand SOME aging.

Drank with Shanny sitting outside in SF. So good we bought bottles and went back at second time to have it. Thanks, Arlequin!

Exceptional. So well integrated with subtle toast, quince. Long finish. Streamline acidity
