Normally I like them but this one struck me as a very synthetic tasting chard. Like all the "typicity" you'd expect from a new world chard but without the soul. Perhaps it is the commercial yeast (is it the dreaded Melody??) or oak or I know not what. Tech notes say neither of those things. Rough, man.
Texture is nice, so it's just the cloying nose and forward flavors. Perhaps it will integrate and I just drank it way too young.
