Tasted in June 2014: Structured, intense sauv blanc. Lacks some of the raciness I usually prefer but still complex and dynamic. Notes of pineapple, baked orchard fruit, barnyard, animal sweat, and limestone. Fuller than its NZ or French counterparts.

One of my favorite California Chards, always a pleasure and well priced for a premium.
