Light oak and butter flavor on the finish. Refreshing slightly citrus start.

Delicious chard. Not sure that it’s worth $65 but if it was $29 or even $39, I’d be so satisfied.

Pale yellow in color, floral notes and stone fruit on the nose. White fruit on the palate, creamy and reasonably full-bodied, the wine has nice balance and lingers at the back of the throat through a long finish. Served with a creamy chicken “pot pie” on biscuits. It is drinking beautifully right now.

Oak and vanilla and butter still there but at this point beautifully integrated with the fruit. Very California, and very good if you like that style.

Soapy taste on the back palate. Not much other than that. Very disappointing. Maybe just a bad bottle?

Buttery and rich yet retains crispness. Very yummy!
