If you haven’t discovered LF yet, check it out. Chard and Pinot from the SRH. Still great QPR. Vinous ratings 91-93

The LF guys were kind enough to pull this mag from their library for me - the 2010 White Hill (had to be relabeled) 62.5% Zotovich Vineyard, 12.5% Kessler-Haak, 12.5% Rita’s Crown. Sublime.

Now showing more of a flinty/ matchstick nose. Showing through with some muted lemon zest. Pallet still plenty of freshness, but showing just a touch of age with the bruised green apple notes

Wow wow wow. Big Bang citrus with lemon and grapefruit fruit. Very little oak if any. Maybe neutral barrel aging. Long, long finish. Acidity perfectly balanced.

Out of Magnum and wow. Showing some age on the nose, but still fresh and lively on the palate.

Nikki & Jeff Nelson joined together with Dragonette Cellars winemaker, Brandon Sparks-Gillis, & craft 2 very different small production Chards. Blend 2 stylistically different wines, from 7 vineyards, with little intervention, minimal oak, no additives just pure expressions of Chard! White Hill is more Chablis-like of the 2; aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus notes. On the palate peach, pineapple and ripe apple with citrus and mineral wrapped in generous acidity. Fresh, medium+ finish ending with citrus and mineral character.
