My favorite affordable Chardonnay from one of my favorite vineyards. The bitter really shines with spicy food and strawberries. — 9 years ago

Only 300 btls produced? Wondering if that is accurate, but no matter. This was a beautiful wine! Everything one cod want in a bottle. Seductive dark blueberry fruits without all the sugar, a mineral and earth strata to tone it down, judicious oak to frame it all. Fine art! Really delicious, and the tannins were exquisitely integrated. A menagerie of amuse bouches from soft smoke, to crisp plum, black cherry, to forrest scrub, black olive, roasted currant, truffle, etc. Will drink this again! — 10 years ago

Honey, lemon, corn flower, elderflower, pine, white oak, cinnamon. Vanilla, tangerine, warm milk and sugar bordering horchata and raisin across a cedar and smoke strata. Such a pretty and floral meadow that this spirit evokes. Great spring sipper!! — 9 years ago

9.0

Pear and paw-paw, lemon pudding, pineapple spray, and lime zest form the atmosphere, riveting pine and lime interplay on landing, chalky and dusty brown touch, getting steely and framing a lemon peel and racy peach skin that recalls a Condrieu strata that keeps it very interesting indeed. #southafricanwine #cheninblanc #steen — 9 years ago

Stony-steely yesterday, a little patience reveals a lady of considerable refinement, with lemon softness coming to the fore. The truncated and almost wholly muted boa became expansive with pansy and peonies, the minerality gaining strata, and pairing with a range of flavors. Semillon-esque but with a 10 foot backbone. Glad I waited. — 9 years ago
