Lemon curd, kefir lime leaf, jasmine, lightly toasted, cooked yellow delicious apple, Granny Smith apple skin, trash can. Good, but not fantastic. Much better day 3. Upped rating.

Not a typically chard guy, but his is awesome. Channels a Montrachet. Brings the acid game strong. Wow.

Rich, creamy and still lovely at 9 years old. Reminds me of what really good Puligny tastes like when aged. Thanks for making such lovely wines Jim! California wines owe you a debt of gratitude.

My opinion may illicit a sideways glance here but this is arguably one of the finest Chardonnays for the value in California. Drink or hold at 7 years young. There’s plenty of structure here for longevity.
