Medium bodied with sediment, this wine had a complexity of different distinct flavors and aromas. Cedar, black cherry, cocoa, cranberries, and some pepper among others. Medium to high tannins, with sediment after 8 years it could continue to lay down for years. Well balanced and very smooth with a finish that lingers. — a day ago

PnP. Dominated by stewed fruit which was unattractive. Cork was fine just past prime drinking window. Nice depth and texture. — 2 months ago

Coffee, raspberry, and leather. Rich and a little sharp but not too much. — a day ago

This California Chardonnay offers notes of tropical fruit with a round finish. It has mango and pineapple aromas with an oaky, vanilla and brioche finish on the palate. This is an easy drinking wine that can also be paired well with food. — 12 days ago

A bit of the old house style, not as focused as the recent 2013. Still a reference in balance for CA. — 9 days ago

A gift from a friend, this is lovely, with a bit of tobacco on the nose and lively cherry and strawberry flavors on the palate. The finish goes on and on. — 2 days ago

If you like Ca Chardonnay with firm wood-warmer climate backbone structure, this probably isn’t for you. It is closer to white burgundy, which is why I buy it occasionally. It reminds me of the a leaner, less viscous, 2014/16 Domaine de la Bongran Viré-Clessé Cuvée E.J. Thevenet.

The palate is perfectly ripe; green apple, lemon/lime juicy pulp w/ zest, grapefruit with pith, tropical melon, white stone fruit, marmalade as it warms & opens up, Bosc pear w/ skin & lychees. Honey notes, but less than Viré-Clessé Cuvée E.J. Thevenet, caramel, milk froth, vanillin, dry limestone powered, toast crust, some white spice, grey volcanics, saline notes, yellow lilies, white flowers, jasmine blossoms, mixed in greens, very pleasant acidity, well; knitted, balanced, good tension, medium structure and a smarty polished 90 second finish that settles on spice and minerals. — 2 months ago
