Community Tasting Notes 90

  April 15, 2024 - Decanted for 30 minutes. Not as good a showing as the bottles we enjoyed last year. This bottle seemed to show some age as the fruit was a bit faded and there was the definite presence of some bitterness on the finish. This may be a sign to drink up.

  March 22, 2024 - PnP (as there was no time to decant), chilled. The wine improved as it was exposed to air. The color was a clear straw-yellow. A wonderfully balanced wine showing lemon juice and crème, stone fruit, green apple, minerality, very, very light oak, and balancing acidity. The partial malo creates a medium plus mouthfeel with a long finish. Should hold for several more years.

  January 17, 2024 - Well cellared, and excellent vintage. Full body with fruit forward. Long finish. Consume now or within next 2 years.

  December 25, 2023 - Decanted for 30 minutes. A clear medium straw-yellow color. A richer, fuller mouth feel due to the partial malo and with only light (unobtrusive) notes of oak. On the palate are notes of lemon, white fruit, green apple and minerality, with food friendly fresh acidity. A dependable Cali Chard that satisfies this Chablis lover.
