Still vibrant with plenty of fruit and the oak is not noticeable as oak but lends a depth and hint of butter. This has held up very well, nice lemon and apple with still good acidity.

Heavy oak, buttery. By no means a light chard. Enjoyable as a sipper but would excel with a flavorful fruity or soy/Ginger dish

Haven't had in about a year. I was very impressed. Very balanced and full.

oak that kind of leaves a little tightness to the jaws but the richness and the fruit - green apple, pear and grapefruit balance it to an extent.

This is the type of calif chard I cannot enjoy. Massive oak and candied fruit. I assume age has not helped this wine.
