Candies and out of balance. Cheap fruit masked by way to much oak. Might suit a less discerning cougar.

The 2016 isn’t much better than the 2017 ... maybe let it sit for a day or so to open up . Still , it kinda tastes like they didn’t have a remarkable wine , so they oaked it for longer to maybe dress it up a bit

Maybe not an all-star , but a decent $15 chard ... needs some work , but very quaffable for an everyday white

Pleasantly surprised - a rich oaky chard with decent finish ... kind of a budget-friendly Rombauer stand-in
