Not Burgundy. Not New World. This is German Chardonnay from one of the first to plant it. This 13 year old hasn’t improved much over time but it hasn’t declined either. Gold-bronze color, baked apple pie, medium-full body, fine acid backbone. — 4 years ago
Neuro reunion 10/12/18. Dona opened but hated it. Sweet and unctuous on palate like a Gewurz with floral pleasant nose. Be interesting with right kind of food. — 6 years ago
Stone fruit and chalk, lifted and super dry, luscious mousse. — 2 years ago

Quite the surprise. Half expecting oxidation and a synthetic cork and experience with previous Riesling but this one held up nicely. Nice golden color and the tropical floral fruit oily notes carrying through with some minerals for balance and that touch of sweetness. Great pairing for the hot pot of beef pork salmon and veggies! First ever attempt and it’s perfect. 10% ABV and polished off two thirds of bottle! — 4 years ago
Awesome. Just a bit of sweetness to cover up the spice, but it shows itself more as floral and fruity than full on sweet. — 9 years ago
