  July 13, 2008 - Light gold color in the glass. On the nose are notes of pear, orange citrus, lemon, hints of oak and soft minerals. The palate shows very high tart acidity, and flavors of white peach, orange, and a bit of minerality. Medium to full bodied with good length on the finish. Would have been a great wine but too much acidity killed it for me. I thought if anything the alcohol would have been the culprit here, but it didn't even peek it's head out. This might be my least favorite out of the Brewer-Clifton Chard's I have had. Served at cellar temp but even with 2 hrs of air time alcohol was not a factor. Evolved a good amount in the glass over a few hours.

  January 24, 2008 - 15.7% alcohol. flabby, too much oak, and boringly mundane. one of the worst B-C chards i can remember tasting. utterly forgettable.

  January 10, 2006 - Least expressive nose of the three. Rather high acidity is not adequately buffered by the fruit giving this a somewhat awkward palate. It opened up after a few hours but my least favorite B-C chard.
