I have been a big Sonoma-Cutrer fan but this is good but pricey as I would reach for other Chards at that price point. Sir-lie aging for 10 months in French oak, pale lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate apple, peach & melon with lime citrus zest, spice and toasty caramel notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice lively acidity, ending with spice, fruit, citrus and mineral character. — 2 years ago
Lush and lovely aromas of black currant, violet and fruit-topped ice-cream sundae pull the nose into this hedonistic bottling. Those fresh, juicy flavors of blueberry sorbet and boysenberry syrup are dusted in cocoa on the finish. One of my favorites. — 4 months ago

Really liked it. Deep red color, smells like grapes but well balanced. Sweet but not in a bad way. — 3 years ago
Medium gold color. Light tiny bubbles. Notes of green apples, bread yeast, some citrus and citrus pit, and river stones. Modest in the mouth at first but with air this grew up and improved. Maybe a touch past its prime but a good start to the evening… (Bday 1 of 12) — 3 years ago

Pale lemon with stone fruit aromas & spicy floral tones. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach, with blossom and cinnamon spice, lively acidity supporting the oak and “sir lie” aging. Medium+ finish ending with vivid acidity and mineral tones. Very nice. — 2 years ago

This was a slight off bottle. Enjoyable as always but lacked the rich textured complexity I was expecting for a mature bottle. It was less dense than prior experiences. — 25 days ago
