Delicious and luscious. Well integrated oak and a full bodied creamy palate but not overpowering and elegant instead. Great acidity still for the style. Excellent, long finish.

Stellar. A good mixture of tropical fruit and creme brûlée with some good acidity & poise. Real good.

Clear medium golden yellow with a greenish hue. A touch of oak on the nose with blossoms, pineapple, strong, zesty and ripe lemon. Fresher than the Sonoma Coast. Medium plus to high acidity (7/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Layered with melon, vanilla, and rich citrus zest. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2022. (92+)

Seemed a bit tired right out of the gate. Gained momentum as it was allowed to unfurl in the glass. Lovely and powerful and complex

Big fan of the entire Patz & Hall portfolio this Chardonnay is a good example why...starts with toasted hazelnut and wasabi on the nose. Well integrated acidity and oak. Soft, supple mouthfeel flashing flavors of honeysuckle, pear and ginger. Finish with lime, touch of oak and vanilla bean.
