Fruity (both red and black, a lot of plum) and quite some greenness. The oak is on the lighter side for a napa cab. Bold on the palate, intense punch of fruit with some tobacco and spices. High alcohol and acidity, chalky tannins. Overall not bad but not too interesting, lacking structure and complexity.

Pale lemon, bubbles are on the larger side. This wine is elegant and fresh, considering that there is only 20% chard. Also has slight yeasty notes and a slightly sweet dosage. Nice easy-drinkable and approchable wine, but lacks minerality and complexity.

Some funky nose, maybe from the "nature" winemaking. It shows the complexity of oak and lees aging, but the overall impression seemed not well balanced.
