January 13, 2014 - WSET Level 3; 1/13/2014-1/17/2014 (WSET School, London): Medium intensity nose, oak treatment noticeable: vanilla, toast. Honeyed orange peel, sweet spice.
Good balance, med+ acid/body/intensity. Toasty oak, lemon, creamy finish. -

September 21, 2013 - Golden yellow. Great citrus and apricot with some apple and butter. Nice acidity. My first South African chard. Another pleasant surprise from Costco.

September 10, 2013 - lime, citrus, and stone. balanced acidity but presence of mineral is quite prominent. short of the complexity tt i was expecting. i will say this is just above average.
