Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 12, 2024 - I will not give this a score as I killed a baby. The owners said I should wait but after the last note I had to try. If you have some bottles, hold.... In terms of the wine, this is a great wine. If you are a big Marcassin fan, this will be in your wheelhosue at such a better price point. There is no doubt the integration and balance at this young age are impressive. But at this young age there is still a lot of baby fat, it gets really buttery if it warms at all (but that is the temp I prefer). Does it rival the best Cali chards, hell yea... But Marcassin 2013 chard got 100 poinst and I thought 92-93 pts, older Marcassin Chards I have scored as high as 97 pts, this is maybe better, but I will not score now as this style of chard I struggle with young and have yet to see it gain age and what it does. But if you love Marcassin and Aubert load up as this wine may be the gold standard of Cali Chard. I like my Cali chard at 10 years of age on average, there is no way I can resist not opening some up sooner, but hope to save a couple for the 10 year mark. I will say I will buy every vinatge as this is really a great wine.
