  May 17, 2019 - Drank it by a pit fire and it provided a nice complement because of the oak and the freshness.

  August 25, 2018 - Beat the Heat Wine Tasting (San Diego Wine Co.): 98% Chard & 2% Viognier from 3 Horse Heaven Hills vyds; 100% Malolactic; Aged for 10 mos in AM/FR oak, 46% new, the balance in 2-4 yr old barrels; 14.36% ABV, 1.4 g/l R.S., 5.0 g/l T.A., & 3.76 pH; 3,349 cs bottled 8/17-19/2015.
  
  N: Buttered popcorn & sandalwood with undertones of lemons
  
  P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with nice OAK/frt offset by an acidity which morphs into a LONG, balanced, initially tangy/swt finish which shows an increasing tendency towards bitterness as it lingers. Made with care, I'd drink NO later than EARLY Spring '19, preferably even earlier to be on the "safe" side. With that proviso, & considering the QPR of this vendor's [closeout?] $9.99, my VG+/EXC-. 90 pts & a "Smart Buy" @ $18 from Harvey Steiman in WS, 12/31/16.

  July 3, 2017 - PnP and sipped without food after tennis. Far and away this was a creamy butterball of a wine. It is a a full bodied wine with some stone fruit, but the butter taste came through in waves and was far and away the most dominant trait.
  
  I make those comments not to criticize but to describe. It is successful at doing what it sets out to do, but it will not be a wine for everyone.

  May 20, 2017 - Nice notes of pineapple and pear with medium body. Creaminess from the oak, although a bit too oaky for my taste.
