November 24, 2022 - Opened for Thanksgiving dinner…it didn’t smell good, and the taste was off, the wife had a tough time with the cork breaking off inside but I’m pretty sure it was oxidized, not good, and very bad tasting. I’d like to get another bottle to see how it should have tasted.

June 19, 2021 - PHMG WAG: Two Shots and a Vertical Tasting (Lyon Quarantine Site): I'm always surprised when I enjoy a Cali Chard, so typically the only ones we get our hands on are in club shipments. That said this was very nice! A nice mix of tropical fruit with pear, apple, and citrus. Less oak than many and nice hints of spice and minerality on the finish. You could save it 5 years if you like tertiaries...

May 14, 2020 - This wine paired beautifully with Greek inspired Shrimp, potatoes and Feta.
The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mango, guava and pineapple. It tastes like grapefruit, guava and cedar. The body is medium/full. The wine has oily texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.
