This wine seems to only to get better. I have drunk a bunch of times the top flight 2009 Cali chards over the last couple months and this one and Aubert have been performing the best. Nice nose, beautiful flavors of pear, apple, hazelnut, minerals. Really well integrated with a long finish. I think this still has a few years to go aging wise.

This is really delicious and hedonistic. Light golden color, open knit and fleshy with delicious flavors of orange peel, marmalade, tangerine and minerals. Although high in alcohol, it doesn’t feel heavy or hot at all, the flavors roll over your tongue beautifully. The wine is fully mature now and probably will hold for another year or so but I would not guess this is a Lon time aged plus it is so delicious now why not drink up.

The wine looks greenish gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Nearing end of drinking window, some early signs of oxidation. Honey, nectar elixir, full bodied.
