Guessing this is in its sweet spot. 15 years old and showing some maturity, but still youthful. — a year ago

Porter-Bass Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

The best California Chardonnay I have consumed. I will say it, grand cru like .
Complexity on every level. Every part of what makes up a wine melded perfectly to create this classic. Fruit and acid like Fred & Ginger. Purchased on release.. While I enjoyed my other bottles several years back this was on a different level. When I tasted this on release I wrote , has everything it needs just needs to sort itself out. — 7 months ago

Tasted at Ceritas last week. Great experience! Unfortunately John R and Phoene Bass separated and he bought out her share of Ceritas. I imagine that also led to the Bass family no longer supplying Ceritas with their fruit.

On a positive note, it was wonderful to taste some older vintages of their wines and buy some library wines at reasonable markups. Highly recommend a visit!

@Kamall very happy to hear you had a great time. Sad to hear about their separation.
