Intense lemon and verbena nose. Mid palate/mouth feel is moderate and a bit less intense that expected. Some sweetness on the finish, but not over the top. Oak is definitely there, but seems well integrated at this age. Since comparisons to Burgundy are inevitable, I would go with a high quality Macon as the Burgundy reference for this (i.e. more lemony and much less tropical than most Sonoma Chards).

Honey, apple, wet stones, and melon on the nose. Nice balance with good underlying acidity and slightly bitter aftertaste. Medium+ finish.

Pineapple, citrus, pear, and honey on the nose. Peach and apricot on the palate, nice finish.
