This review is for the "V-BLOCK Reserve" of which only 25 cases were released for sale.
Medium golden in color and bursting with Meyer lemon, granny smith apples, and hints of wintergreen. Ripe, luscious and noticeably fat across the palate with oodles of luscious fruit and adequate acidity to keep it all in check. This is a hurculean wine and fans of full throttle Chardonnay of highest rarity and pedigree should drop everything and consume this wine with hedonistic abandon at any opportunity. It should continue to hold up well for a few more years, but there is no reason to wait. People complain to me that productions of this size are pitifully small and that they can't find or afford wines of such miniscule quantity. The fact is these wines are out there and if you have the resources to obtain them there is little you could do which will reward you so well.
