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!

Granny Smith apple, lemon, honey, limestone and buttery oak. Good acidity and balance.

Crisp minerality with hints of lemon. Refreshing.
