We had the 2018 Vintage on 4/17-18/22. Green apple and stone fruit on the bouquet. Apricot, melon, vanilla and oak on the palate. Well balanced and full bodied. No acidic bite; not the oaky, buttery Chardonnay so typical of California whites.

Mouth-filling, buttery, with acid underneath. Like a Meursault.
