Golden straw colored with butter, brioche, dried apricots, caramelized peaches and fig on the nose. The palate consists of many of the aromatic components with some bees wax, bright acid, soft finish. Incredible balance. Dink now over the next 2 years.

Definitely on the sweeter side for a Chard as one would expect from this amazing producer of high quality Riesling. Butter, sugar, and some citrus on the nose. Just not my style of Chardonnay. That being said, it is growing on me. Revising up .1 from 8.7 as it has gotten better. Not far that the last white I had was an insane White Burgundy!!

A truly exceptional Chardonnay. Well-balanced with good mineral qualities, yet enough fruits and herby elements to make it interesting with every sip. Drank the whole bottle. Glad to see such a good Chardonnay offering from New York.

This is a winner. (2014). Bright, some oak but very soft and smooth finish. Hints of fig. Really nice.
