June 9, 2023 - Similar as previous notes. Citrus, honey, nuts, and a hints of spice in the nose and flavor. Medium to full bodied, well balanced and a medium length finish.

November 24, 2022 - Lovely bottle of California Santa Cruz chard. Charming yellow fruit, a bit of beeswax on the finish. It has presence without much complexity. fresh but definitely soft on the finish. Would drink these over next few years. Perfect with chestnut and squash soup.
