Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, white blossom and bright mineral scents. On the palate, it strikes a beautiful balance between richness and elegance, with a lush texture and abundant flavors of apple, pear and citrus notes, silky, long finish ending with fruit, floral and mineral character. Very nice will age nicely.

Wine #1400th for me. I suppose destiny is destiny. Sort of has a special way of it find you, not you find it. Finally was able to try this highly coveted wine and with some age. Great chard, fresh and crisp with hints of stone fruit and citrus plus an earthy finish. Cheers.

Not what I expected from this wine in a great way. Puligny-via-Carneros.

Golden color; creamed lemon on the nose. Very elegant aromatics. In the mouth huge creamy lemon curd with awesome flavors and finish. Acid balance is perfect as well giving it a French signature. Best California Chardonnay since the Aubert Hyde and son. Even more elegant! Great wine and should drink well for 5-7 years.

Lovely color and aromatics ( lemon curd and light oak). Round flavors with excellent minerality. Alcohol level is perfect at 13.9%. Excellent wine drinking beautifully now.
