Pale straw yellow. Grapefruit, stone and floral nose. Very viscous, tart lemon, good minerality, and a slightly bitter finish. Didn't really change much in the 2 years since I last had it.

Still the best Chard I've had to this point. Good balance of oak, fruit, and honey, with good mouthfeel. Definitely not a wine to drink cold, but only chilled.

Pale yellow color. Butter and grapefruit nose. Full bodied, lemon merange, caramel, slightly bitter oak, zingy acid, and a medium + finish. Well made, but I like more fruit than this has.

The nose is a little strong but vibrant. The mouth is absolutely wonderful! Very fruity with citrus and pear. Finish is clean and refreshing. A very nice surprise! It's sipping very well now.

Wine was chilled to about 50. Couldn't identify any specific fruit. No citrus,but definite hints of honey. Nice body. Went well with cornish hens stuffed with apple-cornbread stuffing and haricot verts with goat cheese. Had another glass 2 days later after having been stored in the refrigerator...it seemed much more astringent but that mellowed as it warmed up slightly. Drank it while eating guacamole and a black bean pico de gallo that both had a touch of lime juice in them. The citrus didn't suit the wine.

Golden yellow color. Sweet nose with kiwi, citrus, and honey. Very full bodied. A little too heavy for my taste.

Nice balance. Good use of oak to bring structure. Nice fruit. Good finish.

Grapefruit and pear on the nose. Slight citrus taste. Very smooth finish.
