I bought some corked bottles and some screw cap bottles. This is for the corked one. At 13 years old it’s tasting great! I’m expecting the screw caps to be just as good. — a month ago

Rich and rounded. Smooth as silk with developed fruit and structure. Always a reliable wine but this is a strong vintage. — 2 months ago

2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. A bit more fruit than the 2021 vintage sampled just prior. Still...über-pleasant and giving now. Cellar it. PNP it tonight. Somewhere in between...doesn't really matter as you'll be more than satisfied regardless of your decision. 03.19.25. — 3 months ago

Has a lot going on. Opened this vintage a couple years ago but it has since evolved. Complex yet delicate. — 6 months ago

Continues to be a nice wine with mellowed tannins and red/dark fruits without being too overtly fruit-forward. Pleasant to drink - not worth the price tag though — a month ago

Enjoyed this wine! Very much a crisp tart apple bomb. There was some strong floral notes as well. Drank pretty easily and would be very enjoyable outdoors on a hot day. Would drink again, and recommend if you don't like butter bomb barrel aged chards. — a month ago

Really looked forward to this one, but a little bit too rich to warrant higher score. Missing the acidity/tension a bit.
Edit: and it was served too warm.. — 2 months ago

A well made if undisguised Napa Chardonnay with notes of mostly ripe stone fruits with touch of tropical fruits and vanilla. Creamy texture and balanced acidity lead to a smooth, lingering finish. — 4 months ago
