Bright but still substantial and a nice level of oak. Good summer choice without being too light.

Very pleasant. More oaky than others but still bright and refreshing. Would order more.

Excellent and one of the best chardonnays they make. Okay but not overly. Drinks like a good white burgundy.

Oak on the greeting and acid on the departure. I plan to cellar our other bottle and revisit after some time.

Every time I have this wine it surprises me. Tonight the cool climate's expression was elegant & complex. Getting to white burgundy level. It does have a variety of Burgundian clones. Oak is beginning to integrate, a little young.
