Pale and lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty and toasty oak aromas, sat on lees for 6 months. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach with citrus zest and nutty oak notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, toasty oak and mineral character. Pair with a lane or red snapper with a tomato garlic compote topping.

Great balance. Easy to love. Good minerality.

Odd. Trying to be Burgundy, but the result is an odd mix. Borderline Bret?

Full-bodied and nicely balanced. Soft, well Inter grated oak and a good backbone. Not your typical California Chardonnay.

Interesting Chardonnay which is in between styles. Has a ton of mineral and acid and citrus but the finish falls flat. It kind of suddenly stops having flavor and I’m left with acidity. May be at an odd time of development.

Heavy curtains - pale, yellow. Minerals for my nose. Green pineapple & other tropical fruits on the palate. Give it some time to open up fully. 23/1-2021
