Deep Golden hue almost like a light Sauternes. Aromas of toffee, movie theatre popcorn and tropical fruit. Nice texture and medium acidity. Lengthy finish for being almost 10 years old. I liked it. I haven’t really drunk a ton of older Cali chard but this seems to be in a good place. Unfortunately my lack of experience in old Cali chard makes it so I can’t authoritatively consult. Drink up? Or wait a few years? I will say my inclination is to drink up. Well recommended.

One of those wines that immediately captivates and excites. Quite good. Perfumed white flowers, wet stones, and the richness of lemon meringue with buttery crust. The mouthfeel is layered, expansive, and multi-faceted, showing all the goods and textures.

Strong, but pleasant Chardonnay. I’d drink again.

No formal notes. Pleasant, easy drinking, a bit acidic
