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

Ex-cellar bottle did exactly what it says on the tin. Very frech, aromatic, few aging notes of autumn leaves, pencil shavings and Forrest floor. Juicy, good acidity. Tannins are pleasingly soft by age — 9 years ago

This wine had me jump in to a cacao jungle, in this rare jungle I came across a aromatic and pungent herb tobacco. The tobacco acted as a buffer to the oak and caressed the palette like none other. There is a presence of black cherry on the mountain forrest floor where I taste a fallen oak and a land unknown. It looks as though any age has a presence whether young or old on a wine of this magnitude. Awesome job on this one, will be happy to try again years from now. This wine decanted:first; it will transport you to a world unknown; next, it will have your cheeks will pop with anticipation that spirals your tastebuds like a whirlwind; lastly it brings to miss what you have finished... — 10 years ago

Approaching purple. Blackberries, blueberries, oak. Very lush on the nose but quickly shortened by staunch tannins on the palate. Really great stuff but will be better in time as it mellows and stretches out its finish. — 8 years ago
