Feels out of balance, with too much mouthfeel, too much wood, and even too much fruit. There's good acidity but it seems to be swallowed up by the wine's other aspects, even the lemony aspect. Too much vanilla (oak). It's not bad or offensive. There's just no austerity or complexity.

Another well made Cali Chard. On nose: roasted corn and toasted almonds. On palate: follow through of above flavours, as well as clean minerality, light citrus, restrained malo lactic dairy notes and ripe pears....civilized alcohol ( 13.4%) Went well with Salmon.
