Last btl. Gorgeous, tactile tension meets pleasing depth and richness. Drinking perfectly right now

Wow, firing on all cylinders. Super electric and racy now, will be fun to see down the road.

Awesome to revisit this with some bottle age on it. Uncoiled, more presence on the nose and weight on the palate without sacrificing the precision I remember it having. Those nervy edges are starting to unravel. Carmalized apple/pear, golden orchard fruit and blossom, tart sweet citrus, spice laden minerality, almost salty on the finish. Pleasant surprise

Really clean with precise orchard fruit and an extra helping of citrus acidity. Domestic Chardonnay is tough for me, but I can get behind this style from the Sta. Rita Hills.

I love old Chardonnay. Toast, funky cheese and bliss. Like an old Chablis.

Purchased at the winery in 2011. Six years after the vintage and showing beautifully. No oxidation, just an extra nuttiness it didn't have in youth.

Kick ass chardonnay! Pure, balanced, rich but not too heavy, wonderful mid palate and finish.
