Found another 2012 bottle. This is a great wine. Pale yellow with white stone fruit aromas with citrus and floral. On the palate bold flavors of peach, pear and lemon, crisp with hints of sweetness. Lively acidity, notable mineral characteristics wrapped up on a medium + ending. Very nice!

I recently tasted the 2014 vintage but found a 2012. Pale yellow with aromas of white stone fruits, citrus and floral scents, not as complex as 2014. On the palate peach, pear and lemon and a bit of sweetness. Well balanced, crisp, lively acidity, mineralality, medium length ending. Very nice, but I liked the 2014 better.

Hand harvested Chardonnay. Nose is fresh and minerally. Good salinity and minerality.

Crisp and clean on the nose with notes of floral and citrus. Bright, clean and crisp on the palate. Gentile creaminess with forward acidity.
