2021 vintage. First tasted this wine with the 1991 vintage when it was resto cost $240 a 12-pack case (which was pretty pricey for CA chard at the time). FF three decades where I'm pouring this btg and paying less than the 1991 pricing. Has always held a soft spot in my heart. Unique flavor profile that consistently upends a blind white Burgundy tasting as a ringer-regardless of the price range involved...and it do get pricey these daze. Still bringing the serious mineral hammer along with bracing acidity but a bit of lanolin and variety of citrus when things warm up a tad. Last tasted 5.5.23 (9.1). 10.27.24. — a month ago
I prefer reds over whites, but this chardonnay is very creamy and smooth. Well balanced and refreshing. — 2 months ago
Coco powder, espresso, cassis, rich polished tannins and a long finish! — 5 months ago
Excellent 12 y.o. find!! Muted dark fruits, tar, aged cedar, traces of vanilla bean. — 12 days ago

Agree with others’ comments including “chewy” and “lots of tannins left” yet fruit-forward. Kind of reminded me of a Meritage. Very nice with filet. Held up well; needed a little time to open. — 5 days ago
