Rougamore hit the highlights in his note although I had a lower score. Apple, pear, and a oak with a tinge too much of butter on the finish. An excellent wine that is drinking well. I would expect it is at or near peak. Recommend drinking them soon if you have them. Two left that I will prioritize getting to in the next few months.

One year of bottle time made for an improvement from our prior review. The finish is much more succulent, not long - but warmer and creamier. Lovely wine. Still a tad over-priced but I'm not complaining!

Initially we tried this chilled but it was worth waiting for it to warm up before drinking. Full-bodied with an initial burst of honeysuckle but it kind of flattens out toward the finish to something just ok. Maybe it will improve with some more bottle time. It could be better with some roasted chicken. Next time...Sadly over-priced, in our opinion, but it has its appeal.

Pear, apple with spice notes with nice acidity and crispness. Mild oak notes and a nice finish. Drinking well now. Wish I purchased more

Chardonnay Symposium- Santa Maria Valley. Full bodied with balanced citrus and spice. Silky feel with a medium finish.
