This wine is aging gracefully. I wish I had more to lay down for another 5-8 years because I think that is when it will hit its stride. The oak is still present but it you let it open for an hour it quietly takes a backseat to lemon, flowers, tropical fruit and glycerin. Has the structure to really impress in years to come. Beautiful expression of Cali chard.

Same as previous comments. Had with Salmon with garlic butter and it was a touch too tropical for the salmon.
