"Best Old Stand By". Vintage after vintage this wine over delivers and is so consistent. Had to make sure this was still a good reliable wine and it was.

Had another bottle. Bottom line, a little time in the bottle was good! Clear golden yellow color. Aromas of stone and tropical fruits. The palate shows usual stone fruits with vanilla and citrus notes. The wine had smoky oak and lively acidity. Medium finish with oak on the ending. Good value.

Some damn good Chard. There'd be no mistaking this for California, but not sure where I'd place it. Just really freaking well made.

10 months French, & it shows. Buttered white popcorn & vanilla are heavily presented. Palate brings the tropical fruit, acid, & a creamy mouthfeel. Enjoyable even if it isn't your style of Chardonnay.

Clear golden yellow color.  Aromas of stone and tropical fruits. The palate shows basic stone fruits with vanilla and lemon notes. The wine had toast oak and lively acidity. The finish was medium with oak on the ending. Wine was better the second try.

Golden yellow color with aromas of fresh stone and citrus fruits with floral scents. The palate shows apples, pear and tropical orange flavors, with vanilla and toasty oak. The wine shows complexity, vivid acidity, good balance with a medium length finish, nice mouth feel ending with mineral notes.

Luscious buttery nose. Light butter on the palate.
