Strawberry nose. Cooked strawberry in the glass. Low alcohol and classic California fruit. Fruit forward but well balanced with good acidity. A good one for a great price if you like this style. — 8 years ago

Juicy nose of green apple, dried chrysanthemum, pineapple, and subtle vanilla on the nose. Rich and dense, almost oily, on the palate, but not heavy. Round acidity laced with mint. Energetic and well balanced. — 4 years ago

Bien Bien Santa Maria Chardonnay

A favorite winery of mine... This one needs a little more bottle age, or a splash decant... A muted nose opened to crisp honeycomb apple, ginger root, and a toasty brioche character. Feels like bit of lees influence too. Round, layered, and soft on the palate with yellow apple, pear and melon rind. Bright acidity shines on the mid-palate with a limestone crouch to the finish. Hold this for a few more years. — 5 years ago

What a charming Tuesday night Pinot. A rush of flavor, yet nuanced at the same time. Sandalwood, rose blossom, and cherry skin, leave a slight impression of sweetness.So silky, I could drink this all night, but am happy to have a few glasses left for tomorrow. — 6 years ago
