This is drinking so much better then this time last year. Very nice bottle. On to the 16’s.

This is a beautiful example of a California Chardonnay unafraid to be inspired by Burgundy. There is a Puligny-like hint of smoke and flint and a Russian River core of lively lemony fruit. Terrific balance and enough oak for structure without taking over the palate. Elegance in a bottle

Lovely dark gold color. Needed about 20 minutes to open up. Would have benefited from a decant. Super rich, deep Chard. Really good and a lot of life left!

Orchard fruit paired with vanilla oak. Little extra acidic but generally in balance
