  Very rich and engaging with a floral start, followed by butterscotch, vanilla, papaya, and apple tart notes. Maybe a touch oaky still. At a wonderful place now, I will drink my other bottle in the next few years vs cellar longer.

  Wonderful clean sleek balanced domestic chard. Round and fruity but not overblown and I didn't find the oak as obvious as others here did. Nice stone fruit / floral / mineral notes. Great showing

  drank this over 2 nights and on opening is definitely a bit oaky, so give it some air. Drank most of the bottle on the 2nd night and the wine was balanced. It's definitely ripe and fruit forward CA chard, but good acidity to balance the fruit/oak and this does not impart a heavy feeling. Really enjoyed this.

  Full lush mouthfeel. Butterscotch and lemon verbena on the nose. Butterscotch and ripe pineapple on the front palate. Nice lemon lime acidity on a long finish. Really nice balance of lush and crisp. Excellent, serious wine. Punches above it’s weight class.
