January 23, 2021 - Pale yellow color with excellent clarity. Green apples, honeydew melon, and a hint of fresh celery on the nose. Peach, green apple, lime, and pleasing mineral notes on the palate. Minimal oak, with crisp acidity, and very well balanced. Excellent.

January 8, 2021 - On the nose- Fresh green apple, citrus blossom, peach, pineapple, pears, nectarine, passion fruit, fresh lime, crushed rock, white flowers, cream
On the palate- Fresh green apple and citrus blossom, peach and pineapple, pears and nectarine, passion fruit and fresh lime, crushed rock and white flowers with a hint of cream on the finish. The finish is big and lush and rip but has good acid and minerality to pull everything together. This wine is big and broad with great fruit but nice acidity and is drinking great now but could age another 3-5 years if not longer with no problem at all -

December 27, 2020 - On the first day this was disappointing for its flat and flabby mid-palate. On the second day it comes alive, vibrant, sharp acidity, stony minerality, clean and dry finish. Bugundian or even Chablis style of Chard.

December 12, 2020 - We didn't like it nearly as much as the community seems to... we found it shallow and without a lot of Chard tastes. In fact, we abandoned it after two glasses.
