86-89. This is very ripe and rich with tropical and banana hints. It is too rich and has too much alcohol on open. After air, some more acidity tones down the very ripe fruit and brings it more into balance. Not my favorite style, but i could see people Liking this more than me.

Golden straw color. Very rich, honeysuckle and apricot compote nose. Rich mouthfeel, deep honey and butterscotch flavors, long finish. if you like a deep golden CA chard delivering all the richness, this is your pick

I liked this bottle a fair bit better. This had better acidity and a nice tartness to offset the fruit. Maybe its settling down from shipping shock. Solid. This is better than your average Carneros.

This bottle was better than some, less oxidized and more acidity. Drink now. 85-87.

Rich and a bit sweet. Some acidity, but seems to have some residual sugar. Not my favorite style. Night 2 a bit better, maybe 87.
