May 18, 2017 - This is a remarkable Chard, rich color, complex flavor. I'm saving my last bottle until 2018, I want to see where it goes.
The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.
May 4, 2014 - Nicely balanced Chard. Notes of pear, but not overwhelming. Very nice. A rebuy.
June 2, 2013 - nothing like the Rued but a drinkable sonoma chard nonetheless ... this one is drinking very well right now and i don't see any more legs on it ... if you have it, drink it and enjoy
January 3, 2012 - Medium to full body; dark yellow (woodsy?) color; nose of spring flowers and linden tree flowers; great balance, with an unctuous mouthfeel, notes of citrus, cedar and a tad bit of butterscotch and oak; some smoke on the midpalate; elegant; slightly hot finish; 13.5% ABV. Has more weight than the '09. This is now past its time -- I guess Dutton-Goldfield Chards are best consumed in their youth? Went excellently with a leek and chestnuts souffle. 88+
October 4, 2011 - Good balanced flavors. A shade too much oak, but still very nice.
August 26, 2011 - Pale yellow color. Soft fruity apricot / nectarine smell. Rich, but not overbearing, tastes including apricot / nectarine and some oak / vanilla. Consistent with prior tasting notes.

January 21, 2011 - This was an excellent rich charadonnay, lightly oaked and robust with tropical fruit flavors that went on and on.
