Made in Bordeaux but played like a Burgundy. Ripe fruit, rich texture, fine barrel integration, holding its pants even at a temperature around 10-12c.. considerable length - over 20 seconds. Price as jumped since last vintage, so did the quality. This wine can bluff a Burgundy amateur in blind tasting that's for sure; it does feel like a wine from Puligny. — 7 years ago

Enjoyed Black Friday morning on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Sea Ranch, CA. Much better than shopping! Now (7PM) Hendrix our Standard Poodle is knocked out after another day in Paradise. A romantic day. Nice mousse and almond aftertaste on the wine. — 8 years ago

Richer heavier, one would have not thought this a muscadet! Briney, savoury, would have been great with some rich oysters (Bluff Oysters perhaps?) — 10 years ago

Lovey pale gold color with a hint of leaf green. Medium body, Pear and honeysuckle on the nose. Pit fruit, floral notes, & mild juicy acidity with subtle, unidentifiable minerality on the finish. (Grilled rubbed pork chops, cauliflower pearls, w/ truffle & asparagus cream sauce) — 7 years ago

This was top 10 chardonnays for me. Buttery, creamy but not a butter bomb. Drank this with the Baer’s in Lake Bluff thanks to Scott Garrett — 8 years ago

Husband and I just bought this home from a trip to Naramata, BC - Canada. While I like whites for curry they're not normally something I invest in. This was delicious and the perfect accompanying white for a chicken and prawn curry. — 9 years ago
