Fabulous buttery oaky finish. We enjoyed a 2019 fist which was richer than the 2021 reserve

Great California Chard…buttery, oaky. Well balanced. Subtle minerality. Enjoyed tonight with arancini and fresh baked Italian bread, al fresco on the patio…cool spring breezes and freshly planted flowers.

Had the luck to taste it this summer at the domain but as my wife was not present I had to re taste it at home again. Again I am blown away. This is so refined. Great nose with butter, caramel, wood, pine apple. Mouthfeel is very silky, buttery and you taste the fruit and salted caramel. Great great Chardonnay.

This is a strong vintage. Very pleasant tropical notes. Good balance of fruit and acid.

Really enjoyed this. I’m not a big fan of their regular Chardonnay but the Reserve is delicious.
