Popped and poured out on the deck tonight. Not as memorable as the last bottle of this wine, that we enjoyed a little over a month ago. Restrained and balanced, but lacking the fruit that I recall from our last tasting. More like a French chablis, w/the mineral flavors on this particular bottle standing out. If you enjoy a lean, balanced and elegant chard, w/o the heavy oak/fanfare...pretty good.

Yes, I've looked at the notes on this wine...guess what, this is a balanced and elegant OR charonnay. Unoaked and delicous,w/o the heavy handed oak of so many chardonnays, regardless of appelation, this is a restrained and elegant effort. Drinking beautifully now.

This never seems to get it going. The nose is subdued, or maybe absent is better. Tastes of a little green apple and some acidity. The finish is short and has a slight hint of oakiness.

Light golden color. Tropical nose with some apples. Palate of sweet apple, some pineapple butter and vanilla. Not enough acidity or minerality for my taste, but easy drinking.

Clean no aok chard, but it just does not fit together. Fruits seem to compete with each other leaving you with a a little of nothing.
