February 11, 2024 - This is the real deal. Decanted 2 hrs. Wonderful balance between minerality and subtle fruit, and great texture. It kept going strong for 5 hours, suggesting a long balanced life ahead. One of the best Oregon chards I have had, and it might get better over time.

December 3, 2023 - With Megan and Marcus
A fresh and fleeting citrus more than orchard fruit driven nose, with jasmine, and subtle delft done wood. On the palate this embodies the idea of intensity without weight. Deep and structured yet gossamer with a terrific degree of clarity. More of the same frui and florals with some lemon curd to boot. This dances on the palate. Push me over with a feather kind of delicious. Terrific3 people found this helpful Comment -

June 8, 2023 - Is this not released yet? This is the first tasting note but someone's got to do it.
Taste it in the warehouse and the lighting wasn't that great but this seemed like it was fairly light in color. Initially lemon flavor and a light body. Medium weight and acidity. I wrote the word gentle.
