Very good Chard - very nice golden color. Cantaloupe and coconut were prominent on the nose with a touch of barnyard. Same for the palate with muted fruit and a touch too much oak for me. Nice overall.

Excellent! Light golden color. Beautiful floral/buttery nose. Medium-full bodied palate: creamy lemon citrus initially followed by almond, vanilla, and caramel flavors. Great balance. Long finish accented with beautiful caramel and oak flavors. A chardonnay that’s very nicely balanced between Old World and New World styles. Good QPR. Drink now!

Heavy oak and buttery, still pretty good even though past its prime.

Great California Chard; not too over the top and a really good example of what California is capable of.
