Rainier cherry, wild strawberry, red plum and apple fruits, a bit of nectarine and orange peel too.
Sage and savory herbs, rose petal, gravelly, saline tinged minerals, good acid, and a creamy note throughout.
This wine serves all purposes!

This comparison was pretty awesome, had duck breast rubbed down with chinese five spice powder to accompany the wine. All very different. The Raen always takes me somewhere special, very unique in California. The Davies is a wine with gravitas and balance. And this one by domaine de la cote has laser beam precision and focus. The tension in the glass is very much alive with all three. Both aging, and enjoying now are recommended — 6 years ago
It had some refined elements but I believe it wasn’t holding up for its relatively young age. Probably should have had it in 2023, but I didn’t buy it until 2024….it had already turned an off-yellow color, not a nice fresh golden or lighter color.. I would say not worth the price. — 5 months ago
Amazingly fresh peach notes in this unusual California Chardonnay in the French style — 5 years ago

Loved it. A very restrained and aromatic version of Pinot Noir. — 3 months ago
