Surprised this one is drinkable, but it is. Initially it throws off lots of off-putting dill aromas. But that subsides quickly. Lots of oxidized notes - butterscotch, nutty, acetaldehyde (like sherry). Day 2 it's borderline undrinkable - the dill predominates. So drink up quickly. Enough acidity to carry this for 10 years - impressive!

Drank as aperitif and with dinner (excellent chicken chili with and white beans and melted cheese). Golden color. Fragrant nose of pear, apple and oak. Nice palate of clean pure fruit, refreshing acidity and unobtrusive oak. A very good effort.

Nice minerality with citrus notes. Light vanilla on a good finish.

One of the better Sonoma Coast chardonnays we have sampled. Bright fruit, nice acid. Very well balanced.

Enjoyed with Christmas dinner. Not rating flavors as I had a bit of a cold.
