I’m not mad at it, but I had higher hopes for this considering my affection for the chardonnays.

This was a real eye opener. After a little air, the experience lived up to hype. Very pure and textured. Want more!

I probably could have waited to open this one, but it opened up with great balance. Nose of spices, tea and dark berries. Acidity is really what made thus wine pop, and there was plenty to go around.

Cranberry/cherry fruit, good midpalate, medium-long finish. Needs time.
