  Very Good++
  Ditto the previous several TNs. It has some creaminess, yes, but not a round, coating mouthfeel, nicely balanced with acidity, nice ripe orchard fruit. Domestic, yes, leaning Burgundian. My first experience with this producer and I want to try more.
  
  13.5% abv

  Clean precise chard in a Burgundian style. Balanced @ 13.5% abv. A touch of creaminess. Excellent.

  pale straw and medium body. stone fruit with some tropical whiffs and "nuttiness" on the nose. creamy in texture and with concentrated fruit matched by crisp acidity; some hints of nutty and spice complexity start to come thru and carry to the finish.
  
  well-balanced and in need of some bottle age to flesh out its charms. upside potential
  
  13.9% AbV; eight months ageing in 25% new oak

  West Coast Wine Tasting at K&L: A little closed on the nose, but the wine may have been a bit too cold. Light oak influence, some stone fruit. This comes across as on the steely end of the chardonnay spectrum. The palate is much broader than the nose would suggest: white peach/nectarine, slate. This could probably benefit from a few years to open up.
