Oaky Chardonnay from the Los Alamos vineyard. Sandy and calcareous soils. Aged for 12 months in 30% new oak. expressive noses. Notes of pineapple, cream, brioche (or Twinkie!) and hints of orange blossom. Full-bodied. Round, rich, quite opulent, mineral. Subtle orange notes. Saline finish

Awesome! Great balance of apples, minerality, and acidity. Not as buttery as other CA chardonnays... But it's a refreshing change!

An enticing and exceptional Chardonnay. Crisp and focused while delivering plenty mineral and citrus notes.

Old school, new school Chardonnay. Bright, elegant, citrusy and with a mineral backbone. This wine just keeps on giving.

Still young in the bottle. Medium+ acid. Hot mouthfeel and viscous. Very zesty and peary. Nice touch of oak that's already nicely integrated. Had with homemade fried chicken and was a bit too sharp. But really lovely overall.
