Good richness and minerality but I could use a bit less oak.

Good but not as much vigor or vibrancy as the Alesia Syrahs and Pinots I've had. Was hoping for more from 2012.

Pale gold. Strong lemon and green apple nose. Some tropical fruit as well. Medium palate with searing acidity, with a slightly tart finish. Pleasant wine.

A composed, focused Chardonnay. Layered & deep, but also fresh & clean. Fantastic.
