American grand cru burgundy. Rhys only makes two single vineyard chardonnays and I thought horseshoe was my favorite until I tasted this thought provoking wine. Medium plus acidity, tart green apples, tropical notes of pineapple, mango, papaya, hazelnuts and hazelnut skins, dried peanuts, slight oxidized and a very small amount of reduction that went away after second glass. Stunning wine!

That's more like what I was expecting. Fresh, energetic, and alive. Full of lemon zest and minerality.

Really rich yellow Apple, smokey ripe pear, and rich layers of voluptuous cream. Low oak, high texture.

Too young, but very good. Nervy and long. Give it at least two years.
