Turns out I had this same wine a few weeks back and liked it for its mineral and melon fullness with just the right amount of acid. This is like a whole other wine. Lots of lemon and a little acidic. Either the wine changed or I did.

Last year I read a review of a handful of Xanadu wines by the Australian wine critic, James Halliday. Most of the wines had very high ratings and I ended up buying a mixed case. Mixed, it turned out to be. Some were mediocre and some excellent. Not sure if there were problems with transportation halfway around the world or just a difference of taste. This Chard is excellent for the bucks--rich melon and apple flavors with just the right level of acidity and mineral with no obvious oak.
