I bought a few of these last year and it is a favorite. Rich and voluptuous, it is everything a Californian Chardonnay should be.

Delicious and unctuous. Clawing and viscous, it wraps around the palate with incredible intensity.

Cali done right. Ripe and viscous, though really tight acidity. Top notch

Gordons Čhanin tasting 6/13/17. $32. #2. More restrained nose of more white floral notes and apricots. Lively tension and firm structure on palate with really long finish that's lovely. Limestone and gravel.

Powerful, dense and full bodied with a high acid finish. This needs to lay down for a while.

Clean and fresh with loads of acidity. Minerals, wet rock, tart citrus and a little golden raisin. Slightly more fruit on day two. Pale yellow color.

Amazing white wine that drinks like burgundy. Good weight and acidity. Buy more of this for the price
