Pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruit and spice notes, aged in 40% new French oak. On the palate apple, peach and tropical fruit flavors with a nice dollop of citrus and oak. Well balanced, fresh long finish ending with creamy mineral character. Tasting Sample.

A solid medium to full body chardonnay. Checks all the boxes of an oaked chardonnay from cali at a reasonable price point.

Pretty good. Bright acidity and fruity. Just a tad too much butter flavor for me.

Same maker as Olema, but their Higher end line. Tropical fruits on the nose. Pineapple, citrus all smooth and mellow. Light oak. Decent minerality/salinity. Very good!

Dinner with some dear friends at Lucio’s BYOB. Two couples, each couple brought 3 bottles.
.
One of the bottles I brought. Lovely notes of overripe pineapple, candied tropical fruits, and tangerine custard.

Very pineappley aroma but far less on the palate. Compared to the Kali Hart we had first a lot more oak, less complexity overall—had some interesting notes to start and in middle, but the rest was solid but not too enlightening.

An evening spent with John Harris of Amici Cellars. Passed Hors d'ouevres, a 4-course dinner, and some delicious wines.

First Course: Compressed cantaloupe, cantaloupe gel, coconut gel, coconut-lemongrass vinaigrette, castlevetrano olive, and various fine herbs. Paired with the 2016 Sonoma County Winemaker's Chardonnay.

Odd notes; two peaks @ 800 Hz, and 1100 Hz, needs some compression!😉
