  Pretty golden yellow. A perfectly serviceable Cali Chard, but not spectacular. Perhaps can handle more age, but I’m not sure that is going to solve the Kendall-Jackson-seque, aggressive use of oak. Not what I would have hoped for given the price point.

  More Cali Chards: Pale gold. The aromas entice me with their floral perfume, bright orange, peach and apricot, along with fresh salty breeze. The acidity is racy, which plays off the bold texture and vibrant fruit, but the balance is very impressive. Ripe apple, peach, papaya, drizzled with line, topped with chalk, crushed shell, saline. Contrast those with some almond and honey, which add complexity. This is a deep and lasting wine with an intriguing mineral-driven finish. From two different plots in the Durrell Vineyard, this wine is fermented in concrete eggs and aged in stainless steel with no maloactic fermentation. Wow. Seriously.
