Surprised by how great this was! Oaky on the fuller side but still bright. Would get this again.

A new unique Chard experience. Smells like honeysuckle and lemon water. Flavors are extremely smooth and on the orange citrus spectrum. Plenty of bite and zing. Hint of apples. Good, unoaked, high acid Chard. Tasty.

Aug 31st, 2020Classic Chard nose. Butter and honey. Maybe butterscotch. Lemon bars. Flavor is good. A little less richness than typical CA Chard. Tart and balanced with a nice lemon dessert (or limoncello) element. It’s a CA Chardonnay I’ll actually drink (& enjoy).

Aug 22nd, 2019Good but not great. Better than I remember. Time has helped. Might be worth it to try a library or to get and keep if the price is good.

May 9th, 2018Fragrant flowers and apples on the nose. Citrus to go with the carmel and stone fruit. Very much a Chard, but with bite.

Crisp acid, honey, lemon, and pomelo. Hint of sweetness on the finish. Very refreshing. I'm saving the rest for warmer weather.
