  Nice citrus notes. Lemon lingers on the tongue. Oak balanced with fresh acid zip. Holding up well.

  Judging this wine by its nose is a mistake. Slightly funky, muted nose, showing a bit of citrus. However, on the palate, it really expands into bright-yet-luscious citrus curd, pineapple, and cream, with a great kick of acidity. Delicious Chard.

  The score reflects the value. Without factoring in its sub-$20 price, I probably would have given it an 87 or 88. Citrus and bread on the nose. Medium body. I would have preferred a little more heft, but I really liked the absence of sweetness and the balance of acid and butter. Good finish. Had all the components I look for - just not enough of them.
