A stupendous Chardonnay, the kind thats a shining example of what great CA chard can be. Slightly more advanced color than i might have expected, but the palate is full and rich with ripe lemon, a tropical note of passion fruit, and a very long mouthfilling finish. This is wide open for business and exuberant now -- I say drink up as I'm not sure the acidity or focus is there to expect much more improvement

This had me thinking it was potentially from the Côte de Beaune.

We enjoyed this wine while dining at Estia. There was not much of a bouquet; however the flavors dance a bit on the tongue! Overall though, this bottle was quite delicate with hints of charcoal, oak, pear, butter, lemon and straw.

Lemon, peach and mineral flavors with a hint of hazelnut. Long finish and texturally rich.
