Community Tasting Notes 3

  November 11, 2010 - In is very sweet spot - only detraction would be a slight bit hot on the finish when first opened and subject to serious scrutiny. But a mere quibble. That all the elements have melded and backed off into a delicious balanced, subtle and somewhat atypical CA chard. F2F with the '05 Walker this is preferred.

  January 21, 2008 - Smooth and well balanced, a lovely chard. Pale yellow color. Inviting light citrus and a playfully acidic nose. Sits beautifully on the tongue with soft vanilla, subtle butter, rounded out by a pleasing minerality. Many subtle fruit undertones. Finishes clean and clear with decent length.

  June 9, 2007 - Over and above excellent; this actually is outstanding. Some of the brightness of a great Sauvignon Blanc (albeit without the citrus notes), but tempered by the overwhelming smoothness of a great Chardonnay (albeit without the oak). Buttery without being cloying; just wonderful from start to finish (i.e., from well-chilled to almost-room-temperature). Served outside with Donna's first pesto of the season from our kitchen garden, and a delightful organic salad with our first CSA pick-up of the season, too, on a flawless June evening, with not a cloud in the sky. Followed by a spirited game of catch. It just doesn't get any better than this.
