Tight as hell on the first day, but on day two it blossoms into a puligny-like lemon and pine sap crushed stone river of pith and purity. Killer.

So bright and clean without giving up a bit of richness. A special bottle! Thanks for coming down the hill to pour @Marshal White!

Don't know another Cali chard that has the degree of Burgundian-ness that this guy has. Oak is present but just enough for texture and complexity. Mineral and bright bright fruits....oh and acid. A ton of stuff you don't find in Napa/Carneros. Fuckin great wine! !!
