Quite a surprise for a ‘09 in that it was still vibrant if ever so slightly touched by mature-squash aromas. Carries the 15% alcohol well; and delivers on nice acidity, balance and length. This is a finely crafted CH. — 6 years ago

Have been somewhat disappointed with the HB chards recently (with the exception of the Venus wines - which are fantastic) - but this 2013 is drinking quite well. Honeysuckle on the nose with hints of lemon and vanilla, this medium-bodied wine has a nice (but not particularly deep) mid-palate, reasonable acidity, and a balanced, lingering finish. Doesn't quite compare to an Aubert or Diatom (two totally different animals, I know: I'm talking about the level of complexity), but this is still a very enjoyable wine. — 7 years ago

This Chardonnay is a funky one. If you want acidity and minerality in your white, this should be your pick. Definitely a wine geek pick. — 9 years ago

Greg Brewer and Diatom are back with a vengence with the 2013 Santa Rita Hills chardonnay. After a pause, shall we say, in 2012, this new vintage has that crisp acidity and incredible balance that makes this wine unique. Easily has a decade of development ahead of it, it's remarkable what Greg can do with this stuff. Fantastic. — 8 years ago

Steve brewer of diatom and Melville this wine is 100% estate fruit. A big Pinot noir with a good amount of ripe fruit black rasperry and pretty floral rose petal notes. A bit hot with spicy and floral notes to the finish. 14.7% finish 40+ excellent — 11 years ago
