Nose: that vegetal note. Cocoa
Palate: vegetal a bit. Fruit in background. Good acidity. Maybe some plum. Cocoa. Some sweet fruit. Some spice.

Bruised apple, ripe pineapple, chamomile, white lilies, smokey, a hint of flint stone. Luscious and sophisticated, we really loved this wine. Looking forward to tasting other vintages. — 14 days ago
Melon and honeydew with a slight roasted almond element. Drinks like a good Meursault. — a month ago

Doing a Chardonnay flight!
Slightly more heat. From the nose, I predict more fruit flavors. Heavy lemon. More white flowers. A bit of that buttery/creaminess.
Oh yeah. That’s the stuff. A side by side comparison of Matthiasson and Sandhu is v interesting and a lesson in winemaking and different climates of Napa and Santa Rita Hills.
A bit of mako but not a ton to help lower the acidity. More primary fruit characteristics. Lemon. White flowers. Slight butter. And actually a bit leafiness, which I love. — 5 days ago
