Pure, delicious, Chardonnay made with ripe grapes, new and used barrels, and little lees stirring, and pretty much nothing else. His 2013 is rich and creamy with deep aromas and flavors of buttery pear, golden apple, and butterscotch. The texture is lush and round into the generous finish where a touch of citrus pith and minerality bring freshness. A fine drinker's Chardonna.

Nutty. Fresh oaky, buttery. Great for the style but not my favorite.

Oak delivered the butter and was a good drink as we moved to the reds ! Would be great with shellfish commented Todd

Rich, oak but balanced, borders on buttery style.

Lemon-curd, low acidity, full bodied, notes of toast and nuts. Off structure. Not a typical chard

As that sits in the glass it made me think, "There are less than a handful of producers with their HQ in Napa who posses the vision to make a mineral driven Chard, one that possesses the absence of fruit." Neyers can. Smart people.

Pretty amazing. Incredibly rich and pronounced everywhere. Although it doesn't exist, it's as if it went through Malo twice. All kinds of tropical fruit and smooth acidity. Fantastic expression of Chardonnay.
