Such a fabulous bottle of wine, let it slow ox for about an hour, still think it could have benefited from a decant or a longer ox.
Definitely in the Marcassin style, with a definite oak influence but with plenty of savory fruit elements, and this just being the 'blend' entry level chard!!
Has plenty more good years in store.. but a treat if you feel like popping one tonight!!

Well made Cali chardonnay. Stone and fruit on the nose. Balanced citrus notes, a little oak and acid on the palate. Not for fans of buttery chard (which I'm not).

First time trying this producer. Gold color nose has a little ripe stone fruit and oak. Med body,med acidity. Pretty standard CA Chardonnay, obviously good fruit but oaky and clean tropical fruit. Not much as far as finish and nothing really stands out but a well made wine. Would drink now.

I am not a big fan of oaky creamy american chards. If you are also not, you also gotta try this one. Alcoholic, intense, and oaky - but to the point that these are all very much in balance. If you are not impressed by this wine, you are pretty much biased just because of the origin of this wine.

Amazingly, this is still a very young chard!!
