Community Tasting Notes 4

  January 4, 2017 - Poured a very youthful green tinted yellow. The nose and palate were on absolute fire showing golden delicious apples, meyer lemon confit, orange rind, orange blossom, jasmine and honeysuckle, barely ripe white peaches, marzipan, and saline and chalky minerality. So well structured with great fruit that knows it's boundaries, acidity that adds backbone and definition to the fruit keeping it fresh, and the minerality that lingers on the finish with the citrus notes and brings great complexity to this offering. From what I can taste there is little to no malo or oak going on here which just makes my day. So well made! The drink-by dates are so off on this wine. This has another 5-8+ years in my books.

  August 2, 2015 - I love this style of chardonnay, grapefruit and lemon, good acidity with enough creaminess to not be confused with a suav. blanc.

  May 29, 2015 - The cooler climate really shows. Lots of acidity, minerality, citrus, some melon. Almost may fool you for being a Sauv Blanc.
