Really nice. Strawberries and raspberries and meringue, acidity with citrus and underripe pear. The berries carry the show with a lingering finish almost after a fruit liquor without the burn. I think the blanc version is better. — 2 days ago

This great. Tasting perfect right now. Good garagiste buy. A lot of leather, herbs, plum, tart cherry. Great with fatty meats. — 10 days ago

Really nice, more kiwi and tropical with tea. Some citrus and good acidity. Good mouthfeel too. Another winner — 18 days ago

Wow, great wine. Tons of potential. I feel like it’ll be amazing at 10–15 years. Some huge tannin. Fruit is there tons of dust and earth and leather. Every type of cherry imaginable. Love it. — 25 days ago

Young. Obviously Napa. Unclear why the 50 dollar sale at my local place but seems to be consistent online. Good nose of flint, cherry, cassis, hint of wood, a bit of berry bramble. Palate is god tannin, berry cobbler, forest more on the woody side than green, there’s some spice. Overall pretty good. — 4 days ago

Bought at auction. First bottle awful. This one is lovely. Needed two hours of air to settle and integrate. Freeze dried strawberries, dried cherries, plum, dust, herbs like tarragon and thyme on nose. I could smell for hours. Palate is bigger than I expected more game and herbs than fruit. Leather with dried cherries. There’s more herbs and plums and cooked/reduced berries but not super sweet. Good tannin still. Pretty good and fun to try at 26 years. I am guessing warm vintage based on abv. — 4 days ago

Wow! This may be the best Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Something for everyone. Minerals, stone fruit galore, lemons, a hint of spiced lemon tea, a creaminess, the finish lass minutes. It coats my palate but is not big. Asks for food but also can be drunk solo. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this wine. Up there with the best Chablis and Oregon chards I’ve ever had. — 10 days ago

Lovely! Bright cherry, plum, forest, baking spice, good acidity, long berry and cherry finish. A stone fruit/almost tropical undercurrent that is lovely. But the berries and cherry shine together with baking spice. — 19 days ago
