Classic CA Chardonnay. Green apple, lime, lemon, creamy, buttered popcorn. Decent oak as its very presence but not over done. Acidity is a little high but finished nicely.

Much more fruit driven than last year’s which had more buttery/oak notes. Nice.

This sold out in a couple weeks. We couldn't even pour it in the tasting room. Would be fun to try this in a flight wth Robbie's other chards from Del Dotto and Pierson Meyer.

What a sad day for Napa/sonoma. As I was driving from livermore to vallejo for school today, the sky just got darker and darker (hadn't heard about the fires yet). It looked like a mordor scene from Lord of the Rings. Friends have lost homes, hospitals have been evacuated, people have died. Just awful.

This is the chard. I work here so I'm biased (won't rate it) but this has great texture. $48. Best livermore chard in my opinion along with the 1995 kalin (another animal haha)

This is the small lot chard. From historic blocks on the estate (1884 start date). "These chardonnay heritage clones are from the original plant material that has not left the property." 225 cases. Tropical and stone fruit.
