This is such an extraordinary wine. Charlie pushed like hell for me to buy a case, promising to take whatever I didnāt want, and heās not getting a single bottle. It is among the best Chardonnays Iāve ever had, across the board, across a wide array of price points. The perfect combination of tropical fruit, white flowers, Meyer lemon, lively acidity, the perfect amount of flint, and that mineral-laden salinity that keeps you interested. A complex and rewarding wine, good at refrigerator temperature or near-room temperature (not all Chardonnays are good at multiple temperatures like this).
My next Walter Scott purchase will include a few other Chardonnaysā¦but Iāll be re-loading on this one as well.
Just re upped for two mixed cases last night!

A 2012 Vojtilla recently was lifeless. I have several more and am very disappointed by its trajectory. In their youth, they were stunning and I donāt recall experiencing then, their current levels of reduction.
Back on another bottle of 13 Vojtilla. Grand Cru quality in every way. Complex, detailed, aromatic with layers of soil and mineral. Perfect acidity with exceptional mouthfeel. The finish is well over a minute. Easy WOTY candidate.

Very Jealous. I guess I will have to wait a few years to see how my bottles evolve. Hardest part is keeping my hands off them as they are so good young. We had another 18 X-Novo last week and all 4 tasters scarfed it down.
I have only had one X-Novo so far, a 14, and it was impressive.
Vojtilla is a great site. A different expression from older vines. Who gets their fruit now?

Nice. Congrats. I canāt find my stash of Vojtilla but did find a 12 Cuvee Anne. I pulled that for our pending trip to Mt Batchelor. Iāll report back.
Someone just created a berserkerday newbie intro in the pre-launch forumā¦

Dang, I forgot to post last week to this thread, but we enjoyed a 2013 Walter Scott X-Novo Chardonnay over the holidays with no sign of decline.

These wines were just highly recommended to me by someone whose opinion I value. It was on my to do list to track some down and get some! Happy about this addition to Beserkerday!
Love when a plan comes together!
BTW your website URL in your signature should be this https://grwwine.com/ the other doesnāt work.
And welcome to SoCal, hopefully weāll get to meet soon.

When will the newbie intro forum go live so mere mortals can view it?

Thatās a fair question and youād think there is a definitive time and date to release that.
Youād be giving us way too much credit but I think Todd said he wants to reach them tomorrow after a few of the newbies get their intros cleaned up.
