Vertical of 2008-2011. All quite similar, except for the 2009, seemed to oxidize a bit quicker. More of a toasted/nuttiness to it. All had great balance, bright fruit, slight toast and great acid. Really fun to try a lineup like this. Thanks Bradley!

Bright fruit of citrus/stone fruits and beautiful minerality. A creamy mouthfeel from the lees. Gorgeous wine without being over oaked. No MLF. Heidi Barrett's only Chardonnay! 2012 is singing at the moment!
