Had not expected much given recent reviews. Damn. Should have saved for a sophisticated dinner [Though it would be a crowd pleaser, as well.] This was an extremely pleasant wine w/ food or alone. Wonderful balance -- acidity, minerality, fruit (pears/pineapple). Nothing flabby at all. Sorry, did not last for day 2 or 3 notes. Outstanding.

This was opened during a party for Carolyn. I had a taste but didn't remember much about the wine. We opened a couple of days later to drink and the wine had gone bad.

Caramel, pinapple, dried peach exotic fruits, somewhat waxy texture, Anamyl (from warm fermintation) and exotic smoky oak on the long finish. Nice wine but seemed a bit tired to drink.

certainly not you're typical calichard. the nose was similar to a williams-selyem chard, who, in fact, also make a chard from this vineyard. subtle minerality, but a bit flabby and dull to my palate. no verve in this wine. served a little too warm. not cheap!
