This could be the best Chard I’ve tasted from the winery.
The nose reveals ripe stone fruit like peach and nectarine, complemented by subtle citrus and fresh herb notes, and touch of vanilla from judicious oak aging. The palate is lush yet focus, buoyed by vibrant acidity. Long satisfying finish. Really showcasing the structural balance of Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay. — 2 months ago
Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish. — 6 months ago

As advertised; jammy but unsweet opening, robust mouthfeel with a long bold finish of leathery goodness — 4 months ago
Fruit comes from the Sierra Madre and Peake Ranch vineyards. Medium lemon color with aromas of white flesh fruits and spicy notes. On the palate, flavors of apple and pineapple with slight citrus notes spice and lively acidity. Medium finish ending with fruit and spice. — 4 months ago
