Cantaloup, star fruit, guava, macadamia nuts...a graceful end-of-life to one of my favorite New World Chardonnays. Last of the case. Sad to see it go, but it's time.

Still delicious. Popped and poured. Quince and nuts. Acid keeps it alive after 8 years. What a wine.

This stuff is awesome. Consistently awesome. Thomas Rivers Brown made ambrosia. Too bad they couldn't make this work. I don't have enough. 8 years and still going strong. So well balanced.

Found this in the cellar, where it had been languishing for far too long. No matter, despite the color, it was really wonderful.

Oxidized and tired, should've drink a few years earlier. Mostly pear and roasted pineapple.
