  Heavy aromas of butterscotch, baked apple, cream fraiche. Brighter on the palate, honeyed apples, lingering acidity, hints of brown butter. Nice complexity and texture from the 15% appassimento grapes.

  Impressive chard! Nice butter and peach notes on the nose; more butter, apricot and citrus on the palate. Best if not too cold and definitely didn't benefit from a second day. Well balanced with good acidity to pair with food: grilled chicken, fish, etc.

  Smells of oak on the nose. So richly style both on the front and the back. Works it out at $22.

  Continues to be a go-to chard, esp. with food like grilled chicken. Definitely a food wine with plenty of acid balanced with citrus and hints of apricot.

  Very nice overall; quite lean, borderline austere. Citrus notes and lively acidity make it better with food than sipping. that said, enough butter notes to balance everything out, esp. on the nose.
