Love this chard, tasted it at the winery in fall of 22.
Not too okey, just a touch of butter and a nice citrus tast. More French than cali.

Tast a lot like the 2019 Bernardus, at half the price.

One of t. I have tried nickel & he better vintages from Bernardus. I love a more french style chard, and my wife sais there in no one better. I'vre tried her on Nickel&Nickel, and tately Far Nienta, but this is still her favourite. just got and extra 3 cases of the 2021.

This single vineyard chard is so much better then the really nice Monterey County Bernardus also make, the 2019 is really good as well.

Fruity on the nose, better than expected, pear, apple, hint of lime. Finished a little short, reminded me of SLH wines

Nice on the nose, fruit forward, very smooth and distinkt at the same time. My mother in law loved it.

have to agree with "SLOFRED" this was a disappointment from earlier. Just pulled 2 bottles for a dinner with friends, decanted for 1 hour, will try 1 more hour, short on the nose, thin,not much fruit, as if it has already passed its drinking window. has been stored in cellar (55*) and previous bottles were good, like 90.

Had a blind tasting with Sonoma Coast and Les Pierres of same winery, and the Russian River Ranches was the winner, more character, more layered fruit. Smooth.

I do like this wine, one of those chardonnays that improves while warming up from the cellar at 55. nice citrus/pear, smooth aftertaste, especillay on the last glasses.

Liked this one a lot, needed time in the decanter, 6 hours and some sips later this was so good, well integrated, much smoother than the previous one I had.

Same as last time, decanted, 2 hrs, very nice, great Sangiovese.

Last of 12 bottles, whish I had more of the 08. Very typical trend in CA Pinot Noirs, fuller denser than the Bourgogne. I love the Beaune style, but this is almost a different take on PN. This is soo good.
