Nice bottle from @Andrew Heffley ! Didn’t know they did a chard. Lots of lemon and lime...more tart than rich. Floral too.

Jun 18th, 2016Well balanced, with pronounced buttery oak yet escaping the nasty popcorn aromas usually associated with overtly ambitious New World Chards. Lovely presence of fruit where the citrusy spine offers freshness to its offensive, tropical fruit cocktail flavors.

Feb 22nd, 2017Aged in French oak. Must be new. Not obnoxious like American oak, but if the grapes from these two vineyards are so good, I can't understand why new oak is used. Why sacrifice the fruit for wood? Barrels should give body and structure, not steal the show.
