Really nice oaky flavor, but not too strong. Decent body, but not overwhelming, as most Chardonnays can be. We will definitely buy this one again, considered making it one of our standards.

This is the retail label which is a napa brand. The silver label you see in the restaurants is from the central coast.

Expansive melony aftertaste-a little too much to start; better after it breathed.

2020 vintage has a bit of a bite and not as smooth as previous tasting. Bottle states notes of coconut, brioche and pineapple, but it tastes more like citrus to me.

Carbon copy of last note
Apr 28th, 2022This hit the spot: light gold / straw color sporting generous nose of toasty oak: vanillin & dill accented. Matchsticks, creamy lemon curd, orange oil - rich, saturated nose, elegant and downright delightful. Burgundian. Decent weight on palate w/orchard fruit & butterscotch tho lighter in weight than nose implies - but so tasty, well balanced w/out getting cloying over-oaked or over-malo’d. Cali Chard hitting all the right notes & stoked I scored on close out for $15.
