  Great with braised halibut with mushrooms, clams and leeks.

  A very talented tightrope walker that finely treads the line between California and Burgundy beautifully. Ripe citrus and tropical fruit nose - mango, melon, lemon, pineapple, baked apples, mandarin. Nice spicy notes meld with a lovey buttery sweetness, almot a mild Nowegian brunost. Sits nicely in the mouth, though certainly one that demands food. This has a very bright future ahead.

  Nice color, palate is peaches, pear and hint of melon, a little oak. A really nice finish.

  A lovely Chardonnay that walks the fine line between California and Burgundy. I get some citrus on the nose. The palate shows some oak as it sits in the glass, but also shows melon and apple accents. It is crisp and enjoyable.

  Acetone, butterscotch, citrus, melon, on the nose. Same on the palate. Tastes pretty hot and oaky. A copper penny didn't cure the acetone problem. I think it's flawed, although I am overly sensitive to acetone.
