One of us at the tasting tonight put it well - this is a California Chard for people who don't like the typical California Chard. A clean, expressive, wonderful drink - not overoaked as with other "fat" chards. Fresh, and with excellent floral minerality. well balanced with excellent finish

Light yellow color, floral citrus and mineral aromas, very elegant honey, citrus, pear, smokey mineral, very smooth and well in balance. Not "hot" with alcohol, beautiful long finish with a strong mineral attitude. Loved it with wild line-caught Alaskan King salmon.

Excellent Chardonnay. Bright light golden color. Buttery and honey nose. Full body on the palate with minerality and white citrus flower. I feel oak influence is still quite there, although lighter than typical CA chard. Nice finish as well. Alcohol is on the high side at 14.2%. It's very smooth and you can hardly feel the heat, although alcohol level can be felt. A very enjoyable wine.
