Vintage 2018 | true to type Chardonnay, with a certain refinement, balanced, juicy. I am hesitant to give a higher appreciation, because p/q ratio annoys me — 10 months ago
White flower aromas lead with notes of honey and toasted almonds. Hint of baking spices. Ripe Peach, melon and lemon fruit dominate the pallet with a hint of pie dough and those baking spices. Nice long finish and creamy texture. Really developing well with a bit of age. Appreciate you sharing this one, Ron B! — 4 years ago
Bright red berry fruit aromas and flavors with earthy hints of tobacco and cocoa. Hint of baking spice on the nice finish. Medium bodied and quite rich. Nice. Thank You Ron B! — 5 years ago

I love French butter almost as much as I love French wine. Get you one who can do both? 😂 #pghwinefestival — 8 years ago
A delightful, refreshing wine. Tasting lemon zest, honeydew, apricots, and raw cashews. Lovely bouquet and a satisfying finish. — 8 months ago

Intense aromas and flavors of mushroom, tobacco leaf, black tea with just a hint of black cherry fruit. Hints of meat, Forrest Floor and leather. All of the tertiary/savory notes come to the forefront and the fruit stays in the background. Lighter in body. Dark garnet color. — 4 years ago
We were lucky to have probably the benchmark for the Roussanne grape about a month ago with the Chateau Beaucastel. This Yangarra was not as stone fruit fleshy as the old vine Beaucastel. Skinnsy notes from being fermented in ceramic eggs Two thirds fermented on skins with extended contact; one third fermented without skins. A full bodied white on the palate with notes of Quince with some viscosity and low acid finishing with some bitterness from those skins which is good. Grows on you with each sip. In summary a very good new world Roussanne. Had my last one 57 weeks later on 29/6/22 with similar notes although there was a strange unidentifiable note on the palate. Nutty. — 5 years ago

Enjoyed a splash of another quality 2022.
Viscous. Lemon, lime, green apple, tropicals, kiwi, honeysuckle, light caramel, vanilla notes, beautiful soft chalkiness-limestone, volcanics, yellow and white flowers, excellent acidity with an elegant, balanced, round finish that lasts a full minute.

Une robe passablement évoluée car presque cassonade roux. Un nez avec des pêches confites, peu de fruits exotiques, caramel et cassonade. Une bouche légèrement métallique, avec de saveurs de sucre brun, de pêches confites. La finale est courte et mince. Pas à la hauteur des autres millésimes bus de cette maison. — 2 years ago
