April 1, 2017 - PnP with Pax at Windgap Tasting Room. Nice example of a mature Chard from California. Its got all the elements of Acidity, Crispness, some tart and alcohol in harmony. This could hold up for many more years as the wine is still very fresh.

October 11, 2016 - Pear and melon. A slight herbal quality like tarragon. Lighter body, crisp acid, chalky feel. This is a bit oxidized but carries it well. If you don't like oxidative flavors (nutty, salty, think sherry) then this might be beyond enjoyable for you. If you do, then it could be a masterpiece. That's what I love about wine. Something for everyone, just keep an open mind.

June 18, 2015 - This was slightly austere when I tried it, with the fruit very restrained and the finish slightly astringent, although there still is plenty of acidity to suggest this isn't over the hill; Certainly not made in an overtly California style; Not really sure if this improves from here or not
