Jan 30th, 2022This Nickel & Nickel chard pairs perfectly with my sous vide wagyu beef, artichokes and brussels. Onions and mushrooms complete what is an excellent pairing. The chard invokes oatmeal and citrus notes on the nose. Palate is dense and viscous. Pineapple, caramel and peaches are supported by moderate acidity. Wifey and I love this example.

Aug 27th, 2021See my prior notes. In the $35 price range, this is hard to beat.
Displays a soft and caressing structure, with a slightly more upfront oak treatment. Concentrated, with peach and savory notes. Finishes with a hint of calcium. Moderate complexity and bold sweetness places this in the crowd-pleaser category.

So nice and inviting...
Slightly muted nose, grudgingly giving up some Meyer lemons and honeysuckle. Palate is so well behaved. Lovely roasted nuts, caramel, and a honied mid-palate. Smooth and luscious, almost sexy. Excellent acidity and ginger combo. Finishes what is an excellent Napa example.
