Amazing citrus lemon, lime and mandarins. Medium acidity and great tropicals, apples I wish i did not open this wine and waited to see how this aged.

(Re-rating, 6mos later) Cantaloupe, pineapple, corn husk, peanuts, Lime- good acidity. Tastes a touch oxidized.

Big, complex, mouth watering acidity, cotton, bitter peach pit. Very pretty and will age well.

Beautiful balance of bright fruit and barrel. Pure and focused. Would love to revisit in a few years.

Not a lot of Chard in in my @Delectable Wine list, I guess if I taste more like this one there would be. The Durrell Ranch speaks for itself & Kenneth did a great job balancing texture, oak & fruit

Drank at 1417 French Bistro with T. We’ll balanced, with a surprising amount of body and oak for a Sonoma Chardonnay.
