Oct 17th, 2014Another year in the cellar and this has improved a bit, lovely pale gold color, less fruit on the nose and more of a toasty warm spice, taste is green apple pie with with an acidic finish. For the same money I prefer Rombauer though.

Jan 16th, 2018Pale yellow/green chardonnay which is lively and slightly carbonated on the palate, oaky and flinty without being overpowering, nice crisp acidity to end. Drank fairly quickly over dinner, will try to remember to let my other bottle breathe a while.
