I thought before opening it was past prime. I was so wrong. One of the best chardonnays I can remember. Wish I had more.

I don’t drink a lot of white wine but this Chardonnay is excellent. Juicer than most, tropical flavors, pears, toast. Definitely oak and butter but not overwhelming.

Great Chardonnay, loved this wine with some lemon chicken and risotto. Beautiful golden color. Lemon and slight pineapple on palate. Nice acidity. Not an oak bomb.

Very well balanced. Some tropical notes, a hint of coconut, and vanilla. Great texture. A well made and enjoyable wine.

25% new French oak and no ML. Lovely nose. Bit of oak along with brioche, peach, nectarine, apple, pear, honey and a touch of sea air. Lovely texture on the palate as well with great balance. Crisp, vibrant and refreshing. Great complexity and structure with flavors of crisp apple, pear, peach and citrus with flaky pastry. Nice touch of minerality.

3% Vermentino. 20-30% new French tight grain oak. You get oak on the nose, but it's subtle and a little different. No malo. This really jumps on the palette. Smooth, big flavors but not a big wine. Well made stuff.

The fruit has completely fallen out of this wine, and all that's left is oak. disappointing
