With family in Bend Oregon. PnP. Flowers and butterscotch on the nose. Apples, lemon and some caramel in the mouth. Went nicely with some delicious scallops and risotto. Good wine, but oak not yet fully integrated. Should get better

Some air seemed to help this quite a bit. Damp flower (sweet pea?) and butterscotch on the nose, in the mouth spice, butterscotch, pineapple, and lime. Lime and minerality dominate the long finish.

Delish chard--a bit more dark color with a kiss of caramel-oak (than the Central Coast Chard); Pure rich orchard fruit; Riper, slick mouthfeel with excellent concentration and good lift in the finish. Very good.
