  Buttery chard with tropical fruits, apples, cocoa, butter and French oak. Viscous and concentrated on the attack the wine lacks a bit on the finish and the mid palate. Excellent example of a New World Chard.
  PS: with more time I would downgrade it a half point to 93-94 as the there is too much unintegrated acidity on the finish (acidified?)

  Medium gold. Medium+ aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit, apple, pear, cedar, clove, vanilla, cream, brioche, hazelnut, almond, cut grass. More intensity on the palate. High acidity, medium+ body and medium+ finish. This is very good. Suitable for further ageing but can't help feel this is a little overpriced.

  Honey colored
  Soapy, citrus nose. Odd. Ripe stone fruit.
  Tight, nice acidity. Loads of Meyer lemon. Medium plus finish. A little waxy.
  My last glass was the best. This wines needs some air. Don't drink too cold. May improve with some age, but ready to go now.

  Young but ever so pretty , granted it is an oaky Chardonnay but it’s also in a way balanced and soft for the style and the oak adds to the mix rather than dominate. Soft citrus , round and polished, vanilla and soft buttery texture. Lots of life here.92 for now
