Aromas of stone fruits with a crisp citrus edge surrounded by herb scents. On the palate ripe fruit flavors of peach & apple with honey tones, savory with good balance. Lingering finish ending with citrus mineral character. Nice now, small production 600 cases made.

This is the kind of chardonnay that I like to serve to people who claim they don't like it. Perfect balance between acidity, showcasing of delicate fruit and peppered minerality. Gala apples, ripe honeydew, under ripe peach, lemon oil, chalk, white flowers, raw hazelnut. Perfect for thanksgiving foods, lovely alone.

Very floral, fragrant lovely nose. Plush and lacey with flinty undertones. Texturally complex and phenolic on the palate.

Classic earthy, brothy, seashell notes over lemony fruit. Crisp, intense attack. Not a lot of weight but terrific balance. Beautiful, clean finish. Very pure.

Lots of typicity, green apple, mineral, salad leaf, slightly cucumberesque due to poor year. Light, chalky, fresh, not much depth, but pleasant and elegant

Terrific mineral, stony edge to the aroma - sour cream! Citrus, superb acidity, great with fresh cod and chips.

Wow, I’m starting to get the Chablis thing: complex, flinty, structured and light on the palate

Nice crisp lunch wine. Acidic galore and low-moderate fruitiness
