Classic and delicious Sonoma Coast Chard. Stone and orchard fruits are there with a creamy mouthfeel and some whipped cream/yogurt on the nose and palate. Excellent acidity for a Chard probably due to Peay being right on the coast in one the coolest parts of the AVA. I'm guessing very little to no new oak and some lees stirring for texture. This could compete with a high level village (or even 1er Cru?) white Burgundy. Phenomenal.

Very nice fruit profile with creamy apricot, hazelnut, sweet pear, flint and toasted oak. Fat mid-palate. Finishes with a heavy mouthful and a bit clunky. Probably not one for the long haul

Bright entry with crisp green apple, kiwi, tropical fruit and creamy citrus flavors that show balance and nice complexity. Mild flash of oak on the finish with refreshing acidity. Nice effort

I'm not up for a detailed note right now, but this wine is lovely and creamy and redolent with penetrating fruit in a ringing acid frame. Delicious after a hard day of editing a badly written manuscript.
