Classic new world style, a decent amount of the butter and cream but balanced well with the fruit and minerality. I don’t see this getting better and might be just over the hill as it’s lost some structure, but still very nice.

Soft approach and mineral driven. I like the gravel dust aspect to this. Subtle baked apple with a bit of caramel coming in on the finish. Very delicate with a bright acidic finish. Needs time to open up.

Nose: Mineral, vanilla, citrus acid Taste: soft acidity, medium body, more vanilla and stone, great mouthfeel, holds the ETOH very well, nice long finish, little apricot.

Light yellow color. Aromas of vanilla, sliced almonds, sourdough, wet slate, lemon, and orange peel. Medium (+) body and finish, medium acid, luscious mouthfeel, and flavors of lemon, grapefruit, orange creamsicle, and saline. Fairly balanced and pretty solid effort.

On the nose, there are aromatics of ripe squeezed white grapes and tangerine oranges, which are held in check by a cedar wood background. On the pallete the wine is similarly very restrained with cedar wood beginning to dominant over the flavors of orange citrus and some melon creaminess. The finish is more French left bank then modern Cab.
An awesome wine for the price. Hugely nuanced and quite expressive unlike many modern Napa chard's. Find some and enjoy.

gold color, most oxidation blew off immediately leaving a nice, mature chard. Good fruit, hint of stone under. Nice example.

A decent mix of mineral & butter. Thick on the tongue. Subdued fruit

Decent, but uninspiring. More mineral driven and certainly less on the fruit side.

Tropical fruits, background citrus and minerals, good intensity and balance. Really nice.
