drank at racines. poured alongside 2008 Heintz. the tributary showed some typical exotic fruit notes. was a bit diffuse on the back half of palate next to the Heinz, which was more focused.

A little flabby, this one struck me this time. Served it to a friend who hates "big buttery Cali Chard", promising this would not be that . . . but it sort of was. Seemed fairly pedestrian for this producer. I see from my previous note that I liked this a lot more first time around.

This is good stuff. Ample fruit, but tart and refreshing.
