Nice Sonoma chardonnay. Floral notes on the nose with flavors of honey, lemon zest, almonds and apple. Smooth, mineral texture. Somewhat dry wine with medium acidity and some oak in the background. Mature. Glad I held on to this bottle beyond the recommended time to drink as many of the earlier complaints/concerns regarding this bottling were resolved.

This wine was harsh upon opening, but as it sat out it smoothed out. Still not a great Chardonnay.

An ok chard. A touch of oak, fresh and very soft fruit, slightly disjointed finish. Works if it's under 20.

Not bad, but not great Sonoma coast chard. A tad heavy on the oak and fairly one dimensional in that there's minimal fruit and light to moderate acidity. A touch of smoke and burnt butterscotch that's a tad heavy on the tongue.

Impressive weeknight performer and, at $12, a great value. Floral nose, pineapple and rosiny mid palate with a long dry finish that brings back the floral notes. Complemented an assertive dish - chili pesto shrimp with squid ink pasta - and escorted us into the after dinner hour with ease.
