Yes—exactly that kind of wine: timeless, composed, and quietly authoritative.

It smells so good on first pour. Damp pine forest floor and clean mountain air register immediately. Everything else unravels from there; but that initial pop-and-pour sniff is pure magic.

On the palate, blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and dried herbs unfold with control, carried by freshness and finely etched tannins in a medium body.

So classic, so intellectual, and deeply mesmerizing. Drink now or age. — a month ago

2014 Clone 13 - This one is ready, probably still on the upswing for 3-5 more years. Pronounced acidity, starting to feel Burgundian. — 4 years ago

I don’t appreciate buttery and oaky Chardonnay. This excellent Chardonnay has reduced the traditional characters and highlights
notes of honeysuckle,apple and Meyer lemon. Flavors of sickle pear, citrus and a dash of salt. A subtle blend of mineral and acidity. Excellent pairing with Thanksgiving. — 4 years ago

...3 years later...
...herbal and green notes are coming to the forefront now, backed by more dark red dried fruit. Still juicy and a little tight, a bit high on the ABV%. Come back in a year or three, should be interesting.
I just tasted a 2025 barrel tasting of this vineyard and I think it's going to surpass this '22 very quickly. — 6 months ago
