Fabulous stuff. This is so complex and delicious. Oyster shells. Soft lemon, stone, light salinity. Profound and long and delicious with none of the overbaked qualities of some 2010’s. Spectacular. — 8 days ago

A pale lemon yellow in colour - quite youthful looking for a 12 year old Chardonnay. Aromatics of white peach - mealy and nutty notes, still with a nice acid cut at the finish. Drinking at its peak. Fuller than some Marg River Chardonnays I’ve had lately like Xanadu and Fraser Gallop. I have had richer Art Series Chardonnays but personally I love the balance in this. — 17 days ago

Drinking well that needed some air to reveal a polished, silky mouthfeel with black fruits, red berry, plum, graphite, mocha, spice & tobacco. This will continue to develop for many years — 11 days ago

2021 vintage. Pleasant throughout and hit plenty of notes without screeching. The KB style has changed in the last few years. Gone are the mega-extracted pinots altho those are still around and holding up in the cellars/secondary market. Those older wines were a 10 on the volume scale. The last few vintages are closer to a 5. That said, this should hold up and develop nicely for a decade+ without issues. Those that don't think you can drink CA pinot noir over 4-5 years old are in for quite the surprise with quality producers. 04.18.25. — a month ago
