 Tasted by *Vine* on 6/25/2009 & rated 88 points: Unscrewed and poured. Medium-light lemon-gold hue. Faint aromas of citrus, ripe pear, and tropical fruits. Medium-light body. On the palate there is a definite impression of white fruits, citrus and a creamy, leesy texture that is offset nicely by the tangy acidity. Finish falls a bit short but this is still a very pleasant Chard. (1099 views)
 Tasted by drdebs on 5/22/2009 & rated 90 points: I may actually like this more than the SB, and that's saying something. Creamy, apple, and lemon aromas and flavors. Very zesty, but not at all tart. Medium-bodied. Excellent. (1120 views)
 Tasted by shakedown on 3/15/2009 & rated 89 points: Crisp, clean, minerals, hint of grapefruit (a little sauv blanc like), nice acidity. Excellent apertif wine. Lots to like with this wine. Fresh and vibrant. Well done. (1275 views)
