Another 4th Friday for the books! Insane pulls this month to follow up the most epic month (April) that we’ve ever had!

So Ulises is obviously well known for his farming and vineyard tending. Mark Aubert consults on his private label wines, and this is a blend of many of Aubert’s chard sites. Toasted popcorn kernel, excellent acidity, lemon tart, and a mango-banana finish. A QPR monster at $35/bottle.

Not as good as the single vineyard but still great.

Really liked, very nicely balanced. There was almost an orange peel and some type of herb in the mid palate, that kept me thinking.
