Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Good hit of white peach. Saline notes. Tangy acidity Nice balance. Very expressive and plenty of verve. Plenty of lift. Willakenzie is making huge strides with its chard program over the last few years with the new owners and wine maker. Not getting as much oak as the previous note here.

Light golden yellow. A bit savory on the nose with lemon curd, toasted nuts, green apples and buttery. Medium acidity (6/10) and medium bodied. Crisp palate with lots of complex citrus and tree fruits. Layered spices and oak integration. Long finish. Drink till 2028.

They ruined this by over oaking it. Still some citrus fruit. Decent balance.

Heavy oak treatment on this. Takes away from the nice fruit in the background. Nice balance. Quite a bit of smoky oak on the finish.

Popped and poured. A bit on the oaky side. Fruit is taking a backseat here. Will try again after some air. 86 points.
Tasted again on day 2. Far too much oak here. Out of balance. Not as good as the previous bottle I have had of this. 84 points.
