This is good Chardonnay. Always is. If they would upgrade the packaging, it would help greatly for retail.

Enjoying a wonderful meal in Oslo at the Grand Hotel with Claudia Schug along with other female export managers and a lone male. Wonderful complex and full bodied with obvious freshness. Went amazing with the Swedish caviar (aka Bleak Roe).

Bought to use in a blind tasting exercise--unfortunately for me, it's a pretty pure expression with a delicate character- lots of white flowers and balanced acidity, like biting into a crisp yellow apple. No malo & very little new oak. So not exactly the Cali chard prototype. But it's delicious!

Great example of well made Chard from Cali. Balanced, smooth, good for food!

High acid Chard that commands an accompaniment of food. Pear, butterscotch, almond notes. Chablis like... And by like I mean not really but close enough for tonight.
