Its come together a bit with a few years in the cellar. A very pretty sonoma coast chard with really bright fruit, a light oak treatment, and plenty of acidity. Drinks well now, but will continue to develop. No rush here.

Maybe not my favorite RM Chardonnay, still high quality wine, of course very young. Almost Big League Chew bubble gum flavors on night #1, My wife didn’t get that at all, oh well. Some toasty notes.
