May 28th, 2022Fully mature yet still fascinating. Ripe and opulent, rounded and plump yet retaining some spine, mineralogy, and energy. Impressive for 15 year old domestic chard.

Dec 5th, 2016An awesome ageable Chardonnay, 16 years old (2000) and still fresh and delicious. Chalone is built to age, great acidity and fruit. Wish I had more of this vintage. Truly a value because it's underpriced for the quality and limited production.

1984 out of double magnum. Lanolin like quality, quite racy, brilliant. Changed with every sip.

Deliciously fruit-expressive flavors reveal the complex minerality, bright acidity and opulent texture. @Chris Pham & @Natalie Jane would love this.
