Oaky. Oak. More oak. Vanilla. Oak. Omg a lot of oak. I like it but hard to taste much else. A bit of acidity. Fresh. Worked well. — 13 days ago

Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar and baking spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with sweet cinnamon spice notes. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and an earthy mineral character. Nice! — 8 months ago

The 2019 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard is another incredibly distinctive wine in this range. Candied ginger, passionfruit, lemon confit, white flowers and tangerine oil give this mid-weight Chardonnay tons of character. Bright acids lend freshness and verve to a Chardonnay that is very much on the exotic side of things. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2023) — 10 months ago
