Still a very decent Chard, but seems to be past its peak, fruit starting to flatten out a bit. Wouldn't wait any longer with remaining bottles if you have any.

One the surprises of the evening. Initially lean and quite reductive in that fashionable way. Everything opened up, but this didn't turn into a hot oaky monster. Really poised, well honed fruit - lemon, papaya, nectarines, with just a touch of baking spice from the oak. Tremendous balanced acidity and structure gave this energy, but also the joy of the sun. That classic Californian toffee finish was long and complex. I knew RS could produce good stuff, but this was one of the better CA Chards I've had this year. Good value too.

Clear, pale straw. Butter, vanilla, peach. Medium acids, some tannins, lemon on the palate, medium acidic finish. 14.5%. Tasting room
