A nice wine from a tough vintage. There’s a bit of reduction on the nose when first opened, which I’m a big fan of. Stuck match/flint, lemon oil, ripe apple, blossoms, and a great salinity on the nose. The palate is textured and dense, with good acidity and almost leaning toward apricot. Ready to drink, imo.

Not a detailed note, but what a lovely wine! Perfect balance of creamy minerality, penetrating fruit threaded by filaments of bright acid, lovely aromatic back notes, long finish. Low alcohol (12.7 %)
Similar to my other tasting note, this wine is really damn good, I buy every allocation I can get for the chard and neevrs disappoints. This ideally needs 3-5 years to get into peak, still a bit young and needed time to open

An Afternoon of French and French-Inspired California Wines (Healdsburg, California): Light yellow. Light reduction. Medium weight, steely, downplayed apple fruit, excellent acidity, and a moderately long, satisfying finish.
