Another great showing of a profoundly different, miner ally and intense Chard. Seek this out, would love to see how this will age.

Clear and medium golden yellow. Interesting nose with some praline, almonds, petrol, citrus and a bit of funkiness. Medium plus acidity with a light plus body. A bit acidic on the palate with granny smith apples, and white stones. A touch of creaminess as well into the medium plus finish. Drink till 2021.

Amazing the difference between this and the “stones” vineyard right next door. Tart, lemon lime, sage, slight mint. Mineral and high acid.

Fantastic chardonnay from a legendary parcel. Lemon-lime, tart almost sour, lingering minerality dances on the tongue and acidity is like laser beams. Very vibrant fresh and can age with the best of burgundy.

Wednesday Wine Committee from this past week. A fantastic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind as usual.
The most difficult wine of the day to guess. It was like a super bright Alsatian Riesling mixed with Chablis. Crazy light colored in the glass. Very tart in all aspects. Lemon-lime, limestone, high minerality, and a Fruit Loop like note too (kudos to Weston for picking that up). Steely and sharp on the palate with more citrus and stone fruits, lemon oil and crushed wet rocks. Complex and unique. I called this Chablis.

Was skeptical at first, but the quality cannot be denied. Easily the best South American white I've ever had the pleasure of drinking.

A powerful and intense wine with unreal potential for development. Drinks like a solid Puligny 1er Cru. Really quite lovely.
