2015 and 2016, power, finesse touch of oak but not too much. Amazing balance. May be my favorite chard in the valley now. Love that it is coming from El Molino Star vineyard in Rutherford.... RUTHERFORD people

Pears, apples, minerality. Not very citrusy. Nicely integrated m/l. M+ acid and m body. Yellow Apple, great minerality and a hint of tart lemon peel. Vibrant and lean. Fantastic Napa Chardonnay.
