I was very worried about this bottle when I saw the window end in 2004. It turned out perfect but i have to mention it was kept under perfect conditions. Everything a CA chard should be.

Mr. Rucks and I opened this wine at the end of another rogorous evening of tasting (swilling) wine so I can't do justice to this review. This seemed a bit simple and watery without a lot of impressive character, although it could be due to the preceeding wines we had tasted. I do remember it had great mouthfeel and was not overly oaked so it had a nice clean finish. Serves me right for opening a fairly expensive bottle too late in the evening to enjoy and savor. Oh what the hell...we had fun.

Acidic. Past its prime. Not worth drinking.

Drank this toward the end of the window. Declicious. Color was beautiful.
