Rochioli
Sweetwater Vineyard Chardonnay
Monthly 4th Friday is post Thanksgiving this year, so lots of Thanksgiving style wines!
This has turned savory. Butterscotch, salted caramel, and seal salt kernels. Older lemon, lemon oil, and truffle notes on the palate. Very unique. Drink up, but not necessarily in a rush.

Great shape for a 10 yr old CA Chard. Lemon custard, stony yet with richness. Really terrific Chard. Sort of like meeting a Kardashian that has a brain.

Oct 6th, 2016Awesome J Rochioli Sweetwater Chard from 2014. WOW tropical fruit galore with just a touch of oak! Well balanced and refreshing! This is a Awesome Chard. A touch better than the 2013 CIX from Aubert on our table. CB Big 99
