Dense and chewy. Robo Pinot has arrived. Enjoyable but it makes you work a little because it is on the Syrah side of Pinot....if there is such a thing. I recommend you drink it with food.

Not as good as I hoped. Flavors seem muted - not much fruit, not many earthy notes. Not my favorite from Brewer-Clifton

Another confirmation that Greg Brewer makes some of the best, age-worthy chards out there. This 2013 is awesome. My only regret is that I don’t have another bottle to see what it will be like in 3-4 years (I’m guessing even better).

Hello old friend. Totally forgot about this one in storage. Doing this annual spring cleaning and opening all of those bottles that should have been popped a long time ago. Still kicking. Settled into a deep dark soft place. No mistaking this for old burg and probably would have been better a few years ago but put a smile on my face.
