Phenomenal!! Opened this one up after going a couple years. 2 years ago it was pretty closed up for me-unpleasant. Today, Gorgeous mouth feel, full on the palette with good acidity. I'm hoping we have another one of these hiding in the cellar.

Just beautiful. Racy and leading with with pear; plenty of acidity and richness without the stamp of oak. My kind of CA chardonnay.

Holy hell, yes. And I don't ever say that about Cali chardonnay. Mineral. Savory. Herbal. Cut.

Lean and herbal and idiosyncratic, and consistently my favorite CA Chardonnay.

Nasty mans may call this ‘disjointed’, I am floored by rich n complex: buttery butterscotch nose yields to spicier, lighter palate- dare I say tangerine, bergamot? Hold on to your wines if you trust to your allotted lifespan, folks. Especially if they’re Donkey&Goat.

Robust and stands up well to fatty poultry, but still acidic and interesting.
