May 1, 2020 - Still lively and large, this golden chardonnay has green apple, pineapple, and butterscotch in waves. Finishes long but with a bit of tart lemon pith as a last lingering note.

May 3, 2019 - I never tried this in its youth, but I found this to be drinking very nicely. Good balance of fruit and acidity, with a nice marriage of tropical and mineral flavors. A bit more oak than I prefer, but it's pretty well integrated, maybe showing a slight bitter note. Lots going on with this and I found it to be an interesting and enjoyable Chard. Improved and flavors enhanced as it warmed close to room temp.

May 1, 2018 - Excellent fuller bodied chard - age helped trim off some of the big body. Long rich finish.
