The expected vibrant acidity, lemon oil and green pear, with a slightly unexpected but not unwelcome dollop of creamy guava creme brulee

Delightful, a beautiful chardonnay reaching balance. I have minerality and acidity. I miss a bit of depth and surprise, may be personality? May be still too young?

A tad bit fatter with more obvious lees-stirring on this one.. textures, clean, but still with some electric acidity. This is a well made lineup definitely worth seeking out if you enjoy finding the rare Mearsault in California.

Acid driven, crisp and minerally. Linear with hints of citrus. Refreshing and tasty. Long finish.

Nice weight and richness balanced by flinty mineral notes and zippy acid. Nose leads you to believe it will be very ripe and powerful but the palate and texture are quite focused and elegant. Very immediate and giving after a day of air. Flint, ripe pear, white peach, saline, ginger, damp earth.

Electric acidity and liveliness. Focused and very precise yet not sharp at all. Full malo and still so crisp.

Waxy, honeyed aromas. Stones, citrus. Great balance.
