Community Tasting Notes 8

  April 7, 2024 - My last bottle of this vintage and it goes out with a bang. The fruit is still lasting, which for a California chard is good. The aromas come out of the glass and the finish is moderate. I so enjoy Nick and Andy's wines (you too Vanessa). The drink window can be pushed another year or two, but I wouldn't try for more than that unless you are "testing" for longevity of wines.

  September 22, 2023 - Drank this over three days and it morphed and improved during that time. Bright and saline and lemony on Day 1, full-bodied, svelte and expansive by Day 3. Delicious now, but will improve easily for the next 5 years, maybe longer. Well done!
  
  The winery notes state this is now 80% estate fruit, which shows.
  
  Sourced from the winery.

  April 2, 2023 - Nothing has changed since my previous note on this particular wine. Yes, I dropped my score by 1....so?

  February 5, 2023 - Aromas of honeydew melon, slight lemon and vanilla; flavors of pear mixed with lemon and vanilla with a balanced and mild acidity providing a mild finish with just a slight kick of oak. This wine is drinking well now and has another 2 years in the bottle, but why wait?

  September 25, 2022 - Surprisingly in more of a creamy style than I'm used to from this producer. Full with flavors of white pear, ripe melon, kiwi and a trace of salinity. Oak is prominent and a bit heavy on the finish. Don't this improving much in the long haul. Good but not my favorite version of this wine
