This is surprisingly good. Rich and floral on the nose, grapefruit and apricot on the palate. Firm mineral backbone and a nice citrus zing. Would love to see how it will age. — 10 years ago

"Medium-light golden yellow color; attractive, spicy, baked apple aroma with a hint of cinnamon; medium-full body; slightly fleshy, crisp apple and pear flavors with good depth and intensity; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended."
- Nick Ponomareff, California Grapevine, March 2014
Our appellation Chardonnays are given less new oak - twenty to twenty-five percent - and spend less time in barrel - twelve months - than the single-vineyard wines, but otherwise are made identically to them. This includes whole-cluster pressing for delicacy, native-yeast fermentation, aging sur lies with bâtonnage, and full native malolactic fermentation. — 11 years ago

3rd wine if the night last night: last but not least by any means. Ed Snyder is a freaking Rock Star in Napa. Shelling out Hit after Hit after Hit. This isn't Frederic Chopin....., it's AC/DC's Back in Black!!
Big., bold., unafraid and unapologetic! I love the Dark chocolate notes, dark fruit, spice & a touch of grafite. It's always a hit for me & Ed Snyder is an awesome guy to boot! — 9 years ago

This is a fabulous wine with toasted oak, chocolate, dark fruit and silky tannins. Nice soft and structured finish. Just received my allocation of the 2013 Brand and I am fighting the urge to open a bottle now. Great job Ed and Deb. — 9 years ago
