Aug 11th, 2016Certainly one of the most interesting chardonnays I have had... in a good way. It's lean and light with weight and spice notes. Hmmm...

It’s picked up a little nuttiness to go with the fruit, minerals, and bright acidity. The acid is prominent enough on the finish that it is ever so slightly disjointed but still enjoyable.

Nov 28th, 2024A very good chard. D&R recommended a few years of bottle age when I purchased this, and I definitely think that helped smooth out any rough edges.

Dec 29th, 2016Couldn't pass up writing on this one, which I think we tasted in the egg. Very well balanced, glad the oak is muted, dare I say a very un-California Chardonnay? Salmon, quiche, etc....I wish we had gobs more to open in years to come. Hardy, any library wines?
