Disgorged 2023 Spring. Base of 2016 & 2017 Chardonnay from Sezanne. Full malo displays a rich palette of yellow apple , lemon zest, toast and heavy mousse. Refreshing and rich — 10 months ago
Shows the roundness and ripeness of the vintage. Yellow apple, lemon pith, fuzzy peach, candied apricot and a touch of honey leads to a gentle palette and consumption. Still has good acidity to provide tension in the mouth. — 5 months ago

Tough vintage. Has turned toward a Bordeaux profile in its aging with cassis, leather and mint. Tannins have really evaporated. Mildly pleasing — 10 months ago
Driven by lemon zest, candied grapefruit, underripe peach, salinity and dry minerality. — a year ago
Magnum purchased at the winery. Rested 9 weeks at home. Stunning balance for an ultra hot vintage. While showcased by the crystalline quartzite (sea stone personality in an area of thin slate) the wine is still driven by the pure harmony of tartaric acid, European delicacy of yellow apple, pear, quince, hay flavors and the light kiss of Czechian oak. In pure harmony - nothing aggressive. Sophisticated yet anyone would recognize its brilliance — 6 months ago

Loads of verve. Driven by lemon zest, salinity, mint and dried rocks. Just beautiful tension that elongates the wine to a long, lingering finish. Second-favorite vineyard for Chardonnay in California that encapsulates the very best the state has to offer. Top class. Paired with lemony shrimp scampi — a year ago

A seductive vintage leaning on black flavors of cassis, plums, graphite and olives layered on a velvety rug of fine tannin. Outstanding! — 2 months ago
