If one likes a toasted oak Chardonnay, this is your wine. Long lingering taste of oak, with stone fruits. Paired well with fish and chicken. Drank in August 2021. — 3 months ago

At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — a month ago
Huge nose of menthol, cedar, white pepper, clove, and spiced red and black fruit. On the palate plumb, cinnamon, dark cherry, oak, and hints of pencil lead. High alcohol, high acid, medium plus tannin, medium plus body, with long finish. — 3 months ago
Fruit forward and very jammy. Silky and velvety smooth. Full bodied. Rich, excellent! — 3 months ago
