Awesome! Dark fruit, cherry, olive, long lingering tannin, great with food. So smooth but the tannin keeps going. Good amount of herbs mixed with fruit. Such a great value — 2 days ago

So funky. Almost like a cider. Orange blossom, jasmine, earl grey tea, dried lemon, sweet peach, underripe pear and some tart apple. Maybe apricot. It’s bonkers complex but definitely not for everyone. — 21 days ago

This is van der kamp chard. The nose is bonkers, stone fruit, jasmine (may be influenced by blooming jasmine in SB now), lemon, more stone fruit. It’s so much. Palate is just lovely. Coats entire mouth with flowers, vanilla, apricots, lemons, tangerine, tart nectarine, some sea salt. Let it open for about 3 hours. It’s one of the best chardonnays I’ve had. Long lingering finish. At like the minute mark it almost gets sweet lemon hard candy in the mouth. Begging for another sip. — a month ago

This is lovely. Palate coating. Lemon, lemon curd, pear and apple, gets toward a touch of baked fruit but remains in the lighter more acidic realm, so well balanced. Great chard — 2 days ago

Brilliant wine. So fresh, tart berries, bright flowers, stone, some herbs, mouth watering acidity from fruit flavors, apple, berries, cherries, hint of tropical fruit. So good with food. So good on its own. This is how I remember more Beaujolais tasting 10-15 years ago. — 17 days ago

This is fantastic. A lot of fresh fruit on the nose, berries, there’s cocoa, eucalyptus, flowers, some wood, cinnamon. Smells amazing. Palate is big but balanced. Not a lot of alcohol. Some cedar, a lot of berries, baking spice, chocolate, some brighter fruit too like apple and watermelon oddly. It all works. Finish lingers. I’m impressed! — 7 days ago

Very tight and acidic. Lots of pear, touch of lemon, stone, chamomile, tart finish. Seems like this needs a lot more time in bottle. — 19 days ago

Past its prime. Licorice, dried plums, cigar, a bit of acidity but overall more like an old port than merlot. — a month ago
