  A mild cold is preventing any scoring or detailed notes, but this is aging very nicely and evolving, more than just hanging on and that was probably the biggest takeaway. Given the vineyard and the winemaker I thought these would have a fair degree of longevity, but this provides a measure of proof.

  Pale yellow. Prominent but pretty oak, white and yellow florals. Medium body with very, very racy lemon profile that carries crisp, long, lush minerally Meyer lemon goodness. Really long finish.
  
  This has been my favorite Sandhi Chard, but alas is not continuing. Great chardonnay.

  Crisp acidity with nice balance. Lemon, lime, and tropical fruit flavors on the palate.

  PnP - 750ml; pale straw color. Nose of buttered popcorn, toffee, with slight alcohol smell (very slight IPA alcohol). On the palate there's a mix of meyer lemon and key lime with the oh so lightly toffee popcorn. Not a butterball (ank goodness) and not big in alcohol (only 13%), but well balanced with medium light texture. My first Sandhi wine - interesting and nice.

  Nose of toasty popcorn and tropical fruits. Nice acidity, medium length. More tropical fruity, toasted oak, and flinty minerality finish it off.
