Great SC Chard. Really liking the style of what the 11 vintage delivers with lower PH and more acidity,

Going strong. My notes from 3 months ago still apply. Age has brought out nothing but goodness. And I’d venture there are a few more years left in it. No point in waiting though.

Recently off the truck from Ehren’s library release. PnP at cellar temp. Rich nose of wet rocks, beeswax, tropical fruits. Palette is lush and juicy. Very light acid. Reminds me of a white Rhône more than a chard.

Drink ‘em if you got ‘me. After an hour, this one’s not yet flirting with the edge. The nose is sniffable without needing a sip. Fun, indeed to see these can go baby go. Mostly because when a bottle of Chardonnay is purchased in the US, 98% of those buyers think it needs to be consumed before the sun goes down.

Beautiful straw colour. A good balance of oak, apple and vanilla notes.
