2014 drunk in 2024. Who knew this would hold up so well over 10 years? At the 2014 price I stand by my earlier statements that this was the best value American wine. Will need to pick up some later vintages to see if this still holds up.

Great go to. Nice texture, right amount of acid, all around flavors spot on. Frenchy style out of Santa Maria.

A CA chard dressed in Burgundian robes. Even with full MF it's still lean, brimming with acidity and fresh minerality. Full and round, there's a lovely creaminess without being too over the top and still letting the fruit shine. Florals, pie crust, citrus and apple. Wouldn't usually describe a chard as thirst quenching, but this one does the trick. Great QPR.

Tasted with my blind tasting group. All thought it was a Côte de Beaune wine. Wonderful balance and elegance. Acidity, oak and fruit well integrated.
