This is the most unique and well crafted Bacigalupi I’ve tasted. The color the texture are on point! @Paul T- Huntington @Severn Goodwin @Shay A @Ron R

Recently, we have hit a rich vein of quality in the Chardonnay lane. The Bacigalupi vineyard produces some of the most beautiful representations of chard and pinot, this is no exception. Nose is honeysuckle, butterscotch and lemons. Mid-palate is delicate, but nuanced. Nice caramel notes with ginger and relaxed acidity. Caught this at its apex. Doesn’t quite have the depth we like to see, but sublime for different reasons.

Super impressive. Carmel crème brûlée. Nutty. Almost a savory dessert wine. Unique.

2001 vintage - our perfect Chard, heavily oaked, buttery, funky.

Sadly, well past it's prime. Heavily oaked and aromatic; you need to love that.
