  nicely balanced chard with standard chard attributes......lacked complexity for a better rating but showed well with a little more time left in the bottle

  Pale straw/white gold color with transparent edges. The nose is very attractive with hints of barley, jasmin, sunflower and wheat. The palate is soft with a silky texture. Saline notes of beeswax, green apple, pear, and a hint of key lime pie form the core. Delicious, complex, and full of old-world charm. Evolves in the glass over time, and becomes even more delicious as it approaches room temperature. Finishes long with hints of lemon tart and vanilla. Drink now until 2021. 91+

  I thought this was lovely. Nice nose. Saline, wet stone. Had some citrus rind as well. A little tart but well balanced - certainly appreciate the Burgundian style in southern CA

  Aromas of Light oak and a touch of alcohol. Taste of lemon with a hint of ginger. Creamy and medium bodied with a lingering finish.

  This has a bit of an off flavor for me. Tastes like a cheap jug wine, it maybe it's just slightly corked or off.
