September 9, 2023 - Agree with the previous comments about oakiness. There's just too much on this wine. However, the fruit and acid are quite good. The oak just brings the wine out of balance unfortunately.

Gras et crêmeux avec une impression
de sucré. Vraiment de style moderne avec un
manque d'acidité. Ample et too much.
Maquillé pour plaire à un certain public....mais pas pour moi. -

February 26, 2021 - Nice classic Napa chard, probably a bit past peak. A bit flabby for my taste, lacking acidity, but nice fruit and integrated oak.
