Tasty, big and bold Cali Chard...mature but can still last another 3-4 years IMHO. This is not my style, I prefer a clean and mineral driven, non-oaky wine, thus my score. But this is a good wine.

A bit of flint on the nose along with the butterscotch from French oak, the fruit (apple, mango) is still there, a bit muted as the secondary flavors take over. The little bit at the bottom of the bottle tasted a bit oxidized after several hours. This is about at its peak, I think; time to drink up, but don't drink it icy cold. Served with sauteed soft shell crabs at the Father's Day bouffe.

Drinking beautifully. Stones, apples and peaches on the nose and palate. Straw yellow. Smooth and balanced without a hint of bitterness. Very nice.

If you crave big and oaky, get this. Well worth the price point.
