[Tasted on March 25, 2022 at Home with the Garthwaites]
Blackberry, blueberry and cherry fruit, with notes of espresso and spice. Fruit forward and rich. — 3 years ago
Ok yeah purrrr. It’s got a nice brisk grapefruity acidity with a bite of ripe peach, honey and a muthafucking touch of petrol that just caps off this vino-riffic sojourn — 4 years ago
1.5 hour decant (just a little cloudy sediment). A thrilling dark purple garnet color. On the nose: blackberry, floral, spice, gravel. Taste: dry, acidic, medium body wine with blackberry, tobacco, cassis, some dusty tannis still there and a cherry cedar medium finish. — 5 years ago
Everything that Sonoma Chardonnay should be - full bodied , rich , well balanced , great finish , nicely oaked without being over-the-top buttery... a winner — 5 years ago
Hints of vanilla, a smooth finish, — 6 years ago
Delicious fruit and herbaceous notes. Plenty of acid. Drinking nicely now but glad we have 5 bottles in the cellar to sit on. Going to drink for a long while. @Craig Haserot this is a beauty! — 6 years ago
Solid Pinot - beautiful cherry notes on the nose - fades a bit on the palate which feels slightly wooden/restrained. But could just as easily be a 9.9 if I were in a mood for something more austere — 2 years ago
Solid. Okay and bright. Better than their Sonoma coast. — 4 years ago
Balanced and earthy. Not overly fruity. Would get again. — 4 years ago
Hazelnuts and cordial cherry. AN interesting nose, that seems to grow bolder as it opens.
Top medium to heavy weighted, with red fruit seeds and pithe, dried persimmons, Hawaiian Christmas pepper, astringent tannins, mingled with a long lasting salinity.
A lovely, bold wine, and a wonderful way to celebrate our 7minutes left sojourn from the escape room earlier today. — 5 years ago
Amazing ! Definitely recommend — 6 years ago
Cantaloupe and lemon combine with Bosc pear and warm apples aromatically. Medium mouthfeel turns complex and heavier, exhibiting grilled lemon, tangerine pith, lemon toast, the taste of vanilla’s aroma, warm yellow apple and magnolia. #chardonnay #Soujourn #sonomachardonnay #sonoma #chard — 7 years ago
