Notes of peach, honeysuckle, chalk. Smooth but with body, on sweeter side for me but still nice. Nice summer vibes for January. — 5 years ago
I look forward to seeing where this goes in the next 5 years. Jammy and berries all over. — 6 years ago
Interesting refreshing Chardonnay, less of the typical - sometimes overwhelming - tropical fruits. But more white fruit (melon), a bit more acidity and a subtle hint of oak. Easy to drink but also interesting for those who appreciate more complexity. — 7 years ago

From CA vineyard royalty. Improves as it warms and with air time. This is a lesson in balance. Not a steely chard full of tropical flavors yet retains its minerality. Not an oak laced butter bomb but merely hints that it saw a minimal amount of oak in it's lifetime. Only 12.2% which is incredibly refreshing in a chard, especially one from a warmer climate. Tragic that 2013 was the last vintage before the chard vines were ripped out of the vineyard. — 8 years ago
Excellent value for money. Balanced and deep without being too overpowering. — 9 years ago
Very smooth...good blend — 12 years ago
When a Cali Syrah clocks in at 12.9%, I get a little nervous that I’m about to drink a statement and not a wine. My nervousness was unfounded. Nose is bright, with sniff-able acids, but lots of other stuff too: green olive, tiny red berries, crushed rock powder, dry-cured salami. Soft and flavorful, the interplay of low-toned savory flavors and zingy acids does a treble/bass thing on the palate. Finish is pretty long. Nice wine! — 5 years ago
last bottle, still enough stuffing going on!
Mint and eucalyptus, some chocolate and still jammy fruit. Second day it was over the hill. — 6 years ago

Love it! Used in pasta bolognese, also. — 5 years ago

Light cab sav. Easily drinkable without food but would also be great with steaks. This would please anyone. — 5 years ago
