Lots of green apple this time around, and a little oak.

Crisp lively acidity backed by lemon zest, oak, buttery undertones but no where near dominant and a clean mineral driven finish

Very complex Chardonnay, different layers to it. Nice riper orchard fruit with notes of creme brûlée. Some tropical fruits, nice long creamy and balanced finish.

Memorial Day BBQ Chard. Excellent. Not a butter ball like most Chards from NorCal, which I prefer.

Love this chard. Not typical big buttery Cali but more French in style - clean, minerals, citrus. Doesn't disappoint.

2013. Lucky enough to try this. Delicious light oak reduction, firm and balanced acid, crushed rocks. Damn freestone.

Great acidity is there, with golden fuji apples, tart Asian pears, honey, yellow blossoms, and pine nuts.
