January 5, 2020 - More burgundian old world style than the Napa heavily oaked style. Loved it.

December 24, 2017 - Almost a perfect balance of acidity and fruit. An abundance of acidity but enough fruit to keep everything in check. Reminds me of a French Chablis but with added weight behind it. A very enjoyable wine. The only question is whether or not the QPR is in line. Are there comparable CA Chards with less of a price point?
