  Lovely nose. Served it cellar temp at 57 degrees or so.
  
  Honey straw color. On the nose Meyer lemon, green apple, melons, a hint of butterscotch and vanilla, a touch of honey spice, a nice minerality. On the palate it’s a smooth and median bodied with a long finish.
  
  Served tonight with lol homemade buttermilk fried chicken, homemade sriracha Mac and cheese, and buttermilk biscuits.

  Lovely apple, apricots, toasted almonds, honeysuckle, a touch of citrus on the nose. Beautiful light yellow color. It has wonderful acidity and some solid minerality, drinking well above it’s cost with much youth left in the bottle. I’m excited to see what the last two bottles do over the next year or two.

  A classy Chard with classic flavor palette. It's in direct competition with Rombauer, the top of our House White portfolio. We like the Rombauer a point or two better, will stick with it.
  
  11/12/19 It keeps improving, gave this one 93. A bit of apple in the taste, a lovely Chard for lunch.
