Well made. But too much oak showing throw for my taste. By the 2nd day the oak moved a little more to the background which pushed my opinion up somewhat. There is good acidity and stone fruit was pleasant once the oak moved back. The 88 is for day 2.

Just had a second bottle, and it's really good - commensurate with the rest of the ratings on Cellar Tracker. Our first bottle was terrible - must have been corked.

The best of our four bottles so far! Medium straw color in the glass with pear, green apple and a little spice on the nose and palate. Great balance and wonderful both with and without food. Had it with lemon panko baked salmon ... most excellent.

Light medium gold color. Drank a glass over an hour. This one won my Mom over too. I liked it as well. Definitely has some pretty and more forward frruit, but it manages to keep things well balanced. Pear, grilled pear, spices, some tropical fruit, medium full bodied, round, but not too flabby. Stole these for a good SVD.

Nice example of well balanced CA chard without it being a 'butter bomb." Nice balance of fruit and acidity. I heard more than once, "This is a very nice chard."

Wine tasted musty. May have been corked.

This wine has been quite inconsistent from bottle to bottle. This bottle was fine 'up front' on the palate, but no finish ... go figure.

Not a well made wine. Over oaked and lacking flavor, character and depth.

Not nearly as good as our previous bottle ... seemed more acidic and less flavor.
