Beautiful again. Had the 2012 a few weeks ago and this was every bit as good. Lower Slope has a great balance between acidity and the fruit & oak. Seek this one out from @Medlock Ames. Well done @Ames Morison

Love this bottle. Not an overdone Cali Chard, but one with nice balance and a very nice sweetness to it. Looking forward to drinking more of these. Well done.

Citrus, apple, pear and a little rock on the nose. Apple, butter, butterscotch, some oak there, and faint lemon. Drink this one soon. Not overdone. Nice.

Wow. Browned butter, fresh cut hay, lemon peoke tea, rich citrus rind and wet stone on a well structured nose. Gentle citrus, dandelion, cooked lemon zest and a pleasant touch of stem. Excellent wine.
