Soft luscious tannins. Like velvet in your mouth. Muted fruit but it is 11 years old. Goes down so smooth like it’s begging for a straw. More of an acid finish that keeps going longer than the actual fruit. Very good but I feel like this bottle was a year or 2 too late.

I’ve never had a California chard this old (12 years). The butter and acid had faded such that it was just warm and casual in the mouth. Was bright in the glass, was not “too old” at all. I will be trying more A) old California chards and B) more old pine ridge
