Opens up nicely with a lovely nose and reasonably long finish. Vanilla, leather, and berry essence. — 5 years ago

This yellow-gold wine rings the “old-style Cali” bell in all the right ways. A nose of apricots, mangoes and apples is helped along with the smell of buttered popcorn. Oak treats the palate as well, draping over the tropical fruit like a sunshade. The acidity is zesty, yet the mouthfeel tends toward creaminess due to the wine sitting on the lees for five months. The oak is a definite part of the wine, but the effect is softened enough so that it's a pleasure, not a pain. — 5 years ago

Full bodied and strong. Smells of berry, and tastes of pepper. Smooth and long lasting finish. A bit boozy when first opened. Would go well with strong foods, like fatty meats or heavy butter or rich garlic. — 5 years ago

Classically styled CA Chardonnay. Lots of butter and not too much oak but a fair amount. Green apple, lime, lemon, some butterscotch, high acid and a nice rounded finish. — 6 years ago

Superb! Very nice balance of floral and spicy. Lychee type fruit and tastes like it should be sweet but no sweetness, which is hard to describe until you've had it. Had with spicy Thai fishcakes and held up wonderfully. Well worth a try! — 8 years ago
