Restrained Cali Chard drinking beautifully. Medium plus weight and acidity with only 12% alc. Air is kind. Loads of citrus with tangerine peel, lemon curd, and lemon zest. Smooth with great texture and a long finish of salted almonds. Just wish it was $40 instead of $60.

This was really good. Thought it resembled a Puligny-Montrachet. Good cut and fruit and more tension driven than rich.
