This is an a-grade wine, the nicest Cali Chard I’ve had, and it delivers all I expect of this region and grape. Some real expert winemaking here. Beautiful straw colour, the nose is a cacophony of joy. Popping candy, butterscotch, creamy oak, lemon pith. Delicious on the palate with medium to high intensity, rounded, rich and all the flavours on the nose with a little heat from the alcohol. Lovely long finish. Look forward to seeing how this evolves over the next few years

Light lemon in color with a clear bright and very high transparence. Bruised orchard fruit very evident on the nose with peaches dominating a baked sugar cookie aroma. This enter the profile with sweet pure fruit, slightly tropical with balanced supporting acidity. A long clean finish but no noticeable textural elements. Delicious and fun.

näsan är snygg, med citrus, stenfrukt, mineral och lite kalkig, smaken lite väl mycket fat och en del vanilj och kolatoner som jag tycker gör vinet lite klumpigt. Gott och bra kvalitet men kanske inte helt min grej

Sample from guests who had Rose host their Holiday party, an hour in the glass before I got to it.
The nearly pure Chardonnay is very smooth as noted by others, with citrus and apricot present but in no way overpowering. A third of the wine was aged in new oak, and it shows in it's complexity. Quite enjoyable.

This is "big " chard, though the 14.5% alc is in balance. Citrus, a fair butter load, mineral. Good length. I respect this more than I love it, but I'm not a Cali chard guy.

Delicious. Bright golden color. Fresh cut lumber on the nose. Nice touch of butter up front followed my minerals then acidity on the finish. Nice complexity.

Pretty nice Chard, medium weight and integrated flavors. Not quite a buyer for us but an enjoyable lunch wine with sandwiches of leftover brisket and cabbage on rye.

Refreshing and on the lighter side. Rich fruit flavor and hints oak.

Love this wine. Smooth balanced with subdued oak. Just enough acidity and citrus to keep it interesting.

Excellent example of this varietal. Very smooth. If I had any "complaint" is that it WAS smooth, not distinct note to point your finger at.
