The name means "understated elegance" which perfectly describes this wine. Beautiful, rich Chardonnay but still very balanced. For lovers of dense, buttery (but not too oaky!) Cali chards this should be on your must try list. Thomas Rivers Brown doesn't make too many Chardonnays, but those he does (this, Maybach, Rivers-Marie) are just incredible. — 10 years ago

Great notes. I'll check it out

Thanks. And I know I don't need to tell you @David A Lentine but this is best at 50/55 degrees.

Should have decanted it longer as it started to show off during the course of the evening. Drank side x side with a 2005 Maybach and was not over-shadowed. Drink with a long decant or hold. — 10 years ago

The hits just keep on coming. This was poured side by side with the Maybach. Incredible wine. Elegant., dark fruits, long finish. Simply stunning. — 9 years ago

Very similar to the 02 Chappellet Pritchard hill & 04 maybach.
All $125.00 -$150.00, so nice comparison to have all 3 this month — 10 years ago

This is an outstnding second wine in my book @Paul Treadway, even though it's priced above my pain threshold.

No surprise that winemaker Jeff Ames' resume includes Schrader, Tor and Maybach. Big, wide red with aspirations for ginormous. Pure, extracted black fruit and smoky tobacco throughout. Big, gritty tannins from wood and skins. In 10 years this will be absolutely ethereal if it doesn't suck. Literally. Neat, risky things going on at this winery. — 10 years ago

Thanks for the note. Is this one of those "winery only" wines as I drink a lot of Rudius, but have never heard of this?

LM Segal

I believe that this is a mailing list-only wine for now. I understand they're ramping up production of newer vineyards, so hopefully more broadly available soon!

Parker hands out 100 points like a teacher hands out skittles on a playground,
I'll take the 100 point Maybach for $100.00 less over this, other than that its a great wine, — 10 years ago

Totally agreed. The Maybach Materium is incredible and they didn't Jack the price for their customers despite the 100 pt. rating.

Ron R

Another beauty from @Paul Treadway. Cheers!

Forgot how good this was for the price. Hate to say it, but so much more enjoyable than the Maybach chard,
Hope this heatwave ends soon, I'm running out of white juice, — 10 years ago

Please don't laugh… I think it might be the best thing they make.

Truthfully so do I,
