Nov 25th, 2021Seen more then it's fair share of barrel time, this wine is a deep golden yellow hue, exhibiting heavy aromas of vanilla extract, & buttered popcorn. Big bodied & rich, with minor roles filled by ripened pears & pineapple. Complex, lengthy, & well made, but too much oak for my own personal taste.

Bright flavors citrusy and ripe roundness in the texture super! and a beautiful touch of vanilla oak. Qupe's Y Block Chard (less$$) is the deal! At under $20.

May 10th, 2017Just not for me. Too much oak ruins the potential these Chardonnay grapes had. Burnt popcorn and butter dominate the flavor profile leaving little room for any other complexity to shine through.
