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.

Nose of oak and vanilla. Full body, mildly dry, balanced. Apricots and pears on palate. Lovely Raj Parr wine.

Gordons Sandhi tasting with Parr 9/27/17. Sanford '13 nose had nutty and petro and leechee and had distinctive sweetness on balanced palate with long finish. Yum. 9.2.

Started off quite lean and green-apple-tart. Got better with time (maybe even best on day 2) with more notes of pear and stones. Drank similarly to a young, warm, neutral chablis at that point.

Always my go-to bottle, especially on a week night and never fails to please. Delish! @Rajat Parr 👌🏼

Gorgeous fresh nose. Great balance and acidity. Good fruit and length. A touch of creaminess and a really accomplished wine. Excellent
