Seriously young but showing laser focused Pinot fruit. Concentrated red fruit at its core with black pepper. Finish grips for at least a 60 sec. This is a baby, talk to this in 5 years minimum. Crazy potential — a day ago

Deep rich core of red/black fruit, smoke, duck fat and oak. Very pleasing offering and this seems like it could last another 10 years. My only knock is some lack of acidity. Other then that excellent — 2 months ago

Wow, Impressed this is ready to go given the youth. Saturated red fruit, some baking spices, raspberry jam, oak, vanilla. Have 2 bottles left so curious how this improves which if it dies it could be a perfect wine. — 5 months ago

Nose: One of the most captivating Chardonnays I’ve encountered. Enticing layers of lemon tart, ripe lychee, fragrant perfume, and a distinctive touch of holy basil.
Palate: Medium-bodied yet intensely flavorful, bursting with bright lemon curd, silky cream, and toasted notes. The acidity is vibrant and refreshing, keeping everything lively. Oak is present and supportive, adding structure without ever overpowering the fruit.
