Compared to the Roederer, this one had a little more power. Straw yellow pour. Mouthfeel with bubbles were a bit larger by comparison. The notes are mostly pear and apple. Hint of honey. — 7 years ago

Straw gold color. Caressing aromatic nose of lemon curd, river stone, spices and a little apricot. Really good balance of structure, fruit and acidity in the mouth. Lasting finish. Textbook white burg. — 8 years ago

Light straw gold. Impactful effervescent nose with notes of bread yeast, lemon, marzipan and apricot. Vibrant in the mouth. Expands and has a long finish. Expect this will get better and more complex with a bit more age. Really good right now tho. — 9 years ago

Right on the money with this Riesling! Straw in color and star bright. Nose was filled with lemon-lime, honeydew, Granny Smith apples, wild honey, citrus blossom, ginger, and new plastic pool toy aromas. The palate was extremely well balanced and the acidity was high and puckering. The tart lemon and lime flavors held through the finish. The finish was surprisingly long, and it was a nice medium-minus body. This Riesling provides a solid compliment to spicy sushi and spicy foods. It holds up strong and has a lot of backbone. All in all, this is your Riesling if you are looking for a refreshing, acidic, dry breath of fresh air. Instant favorite of mine! Washington dry Rieslings are spectacular. Cheers! — 9 years ago

Finally an evening on the deck not wearing a sweatshirt! Let’s begin Chardonnay week. Bright straw color, wish I could give a nose description but too many of my lovely city neighbors are grilling and all I smell is charred steak fat. Coating mouth- this is excellent. — 8 years ago

Mike Grgich, the “King of Chardonnay” farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months and did not undergo malolactic fermentation. Pale gold straw with aromas of stone, tropical fruit and citrus. On the palate apple, melon and pear flavors, with some orange zest and toasty notes. Nice balance with acidity on lingering finish on a spicy mineral ending. Not your typical CA Chard, very nice! — 8 years ago

Very pale straw color. Super fragrant rose petals lead to a sweet honeysuckle and melons. Goseberry and grassy note come through as it warmed up. Minerality and acidity give way to dense and velvety fruit. Taste of oak on the finish. A little creamy with a backbone. Very complex wine with great balance. — 10 years ago

2012 vintage... Pale straw/gold color... Bosc pear on nose w hint of oak... Palate maintains nice acidity, tending towards green apple. I would guess non-MLF with partial new French oak — 11 years ago

Got my hands on a ‘14, excited b/c the blend changes each vintage; 79% Chardonnay, 8% Viognier, 5% Grenache Blanc, 5% Marsanne, 2% Muscat, and 1% Roussanne aged in 40% new French oak for 9 mos. Bright straw, aromas of stone & tropical fruits with floral spice. The palate shows flavors of white peach, melon and apple with hints of lemon zest and honeysuckle. The wine is well balanced with integrated oak, crisp, lively acidity and a long finish ending with a mineral edge. — 7 years ago

Went out to dinner and saw this on the wine list and was hard to look elsewhere. In southern Burgundy, at the northern border of Beaujolais, lies the Pouilly-Fuisse appellation. Pale straw with nice gold edges and aromas of citrus and stone fruits with a slight nutty character. On the palate grapefruit and peach flavors with lemon zest notes, showing subtle oak tones. The finish has lively acidity and ends with a touch of minerality. — 8 years ago

Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic vineyards and cellars in 1965, with a mission to produce California's first world-class sparkling wines. Today, led by their son Hugh, continues with this commitment to quality. A 100% Chardonnay, straw yellow with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, with floral scents. A terrific sparkler shows crisp green apple, orange and grapefruit zest. A medium-bodied, wine with a great mousse, tiny bubbles and nice length on the finish ending with some crisp mineral notes. — 9 years ago

Pours straw in color. Citrus grapefruit-like aromas with some grass. Reminds us of Sauvignon Blanc. Some pithiness to the flavors along with some more grass and citrus maybe a hint of pear. A crisp wine with a medium to light body and a medium finish. Rating is tough since this is not our typical grape so we will go with what people who know the varietal as to not beat up the score — 10 years ago
