P/chilled. Clear, med straw yellow. Intense CA Chard nose. This drinks exactly like good Chard should. Proper varietal flavor, lively fruit, strong acid, tart, sharp, clean with a hint of oak, vanilla, wet stone, slate, lemon, clay. A slight resemblance to Burgundy. Delicious stuff, one of my favorites. Good drinking window, nothing off. $51 direct from producer.

Lovely yellow color with a bouquet and flavor of pear-apples mixed with very sweet oak, making for a very distinctive wine. Fairly good depth with some nuance and a moderate finish. Pleasant wine if not a wow.

Beautiful straw yellow color. Sharp and crisp with apple, pear and lemon. Finish was shorter than expected but a great wine.

Unctous white. Green apple and pear. Acid +. Really enjoyed it. Lemon zest, vanilla/oak. Guessing malolactic fermentation.
