Love this style of CA chard. Crystalline, lip puckering lemon and rocks, lots of energy even at 8 years. Drink — 9 days ago

Threw my last one of these into a tasting against some other ‘14s and it more than held its own. Consistent with previous notes, never had a bad bottle — 9 days ago

More open knit than the Sassella, total deliciousness and high toned elegance — 9 days ago

The ‘21 disgorgement if memory serves (which it might not considering how much wine was had this night). Superb, elegant, chalky, citrus and pit fruit, floral notes — 11 days ago
