  Return to Napa; 3/6/2022-3/13/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): The obligatory starter chard for the tasting. It’s interesting because the description of it made me think it would be very much not my style but this was less offensive than some. More honey notes. 14 months in American oak. Full malo. And yet almost a touch sweet which maybe makes it more ok (I have never minded the SQN dessert wines one of which is chard). Still not for me, but not bad.

  Too sharp. Lacking balance. Not a fan.

  Certainly on the back nine of life, but still had good acidity/balance. A touch of honeyed maturity/materization, but still had enough kick to count.

  PNP from Coravin into Riedel tasting glass (“Flower” day): medium golden to the eyes.
  
  Sulphurous notes that reminds me of the 1999 Bourgogne blanc tasted before.
  
  94-95 points.

  Pretty golden color, with stone fruit and integrated oak accents but seemed slightly oxidized to me--may be on the downside. Tasted at winery
