1st of 2 bottles, this is a pretty California Chard. Citrus and apples, kiwi, lychee. A hint of deftly applied oak, alongside spicebox and a medium length finish with oodles of citrus and orchard fruits. Drink now through 2022+, quite good.

Served two glasses at cellar temp on Day One -- very elegant, high-acid, balanced use of oak. 91+ out of the gate. Had second half on Day 2 and it didn't quite hold itself together, but I think this wine is a fantastic CA Chard. ($50 is admittedly pretty competitive price, but let's say that it's at least very much in the hunt there.)

2nd bottle. Last tasted 2 yrs ago. Too much buttery oak for my taste.

Beautiful crisp Chardonnay. Nice acidity without the heaviness of typical CA Chardonnay. If you like French chardonnay, you'll like this.
