They greet you with their Chardonnay when you visit. They buy grapes from Trefethen to make their Chardonnay.

My experience with this is when you are mosttly a red wine producer, you need a white to start people & for Winery dinners with non meat dishes. It is not the primary focus of what they do. It’s more of an after thought and what you get is something very serviceable. That is the case here.

Their Chardonnay is very classic Sonoma...good but, nothing outstanding. Green apple, lemon, lime, kiwi, some butter & cream, mid oaked & backboned.with decent acidity and nicely polished. — 5 years ago

Relatively refreshing medium bodied drink with smell and taste of kiwi, apricot, peach, faint green apple and lime. Reminds me of white citrusy fruits. Good drink on hot day — 7 years ago

Light straw color. Very tight in the nose, even after being open for a couple of hours. Notes of light citrus, kiwi and white flowers. Not much else. High pitched and fruit abundant in the mouth. Light acidity and structure, almost to a flaw. Closed down? Needs more age? Will wait a few years more and check in on this one down the road. — 7 years ago

Tavel region produces my favourite rose wines. The depth and complexity for me is just amazing. Raspberries, strawberries, cranberry, kiwi and watermelon. Very smooth and balanced. Perfect for a hot day alone or with food. — 5 years ago

Just a stunner. Nose is a knockout while still remaining elegant. White flowers, salted water, kaffir lime, white peach, underipe kiwi, maybe even some yellow plum. Great body and pithy pomelo on the palate, along with some kind of herbal simple syrup I’ve tasted before. Not getting as much overt flintiness as previous vintages. Finish brings more creamy orange (creamsicle???) and maybe orange green star notes. Fantastic — 7 years ago

Wow. I’ve had a lot of kiwi SBs in my day but this wine is completely different. Super elegant on the nose, elderflower and hay on the nose with subtle pear skin and muted grapefruit. Med + / med acid toned down and balanced. Ripe citrus turned down to a 6 and a touch of lees to provide structure. Finish is vibrant, clean and strong on the fruit — 8 years ago

Full and beautiful, wet stones, vanilla, light honey, and I must say it, kiwi, pop on the nose. The mouth shows soft butterscotch and classy medium acid. First Kumeu for me and I'm glad I have more. — 9 years ago

High tined with sherbet like acidity, but also soft in the mid palate. Unusual kiwi/tropical fruit profile that is quite mellow. — 8 years ago

This is the 2016 and it is as good as the prior growths if not better, the reason I keep it stocked. Mild floral with excellent kiwi and citrus taste that just lingers in your mouth. Never been disappointed and this a step ahead. Buy for cocktails, chicken or fish, you won't go wrong!! — 9 years ago
