December 30, 2022 - Light to medium lemon yellow. This bottle was really nice and seems like the best bottle so far (4th of 6). Nose and palate are lightly fragrant with white flowers, almond, honeysuckle, mint, minerals, lemon pith, lime, green apple and cream. Bright acidity, somewhat bitter finish. Very complex and lightly creamy. This kept evolving and though the finish was a little shorter than I would have liked it was really captivating.

February 13, 2021 - Decanted for a little air and tasted over 3 hours. This had decent acidity but a clearly dominant rich texture and a good deal less bright than some Oregon Chards. It had a mostly buttery profile but not really that oak influenced. Also some lemon and a touch of stone fruit. Moderately long finish. Guessing aging in a relatively small percentage of new oak (my previous note stated 25%). But overall this bottle tasted more like a Cali style chard in my mind than what I usually see in Oregon in contrast to my previous bottle note would indicate.

April 29, 2020 - Crisp, green apple, lemon, low oak, with zippy acidity. Extremely well-balanced and lively.
