Wow! No way this should trade for $20!!

Maroon color with brown edges. Earth, dust, and veggies on the nose. On the palate reminds me of Tempier Bandol with barnyard, bruised cherries, and subtle olives. Complex and silky. Best bottle of my six yet!!

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Excellent texture and dark cherries are well integrated. I really liked this at first but it evolved into a typical Napa Cab with nothing unique about it. That’s not bad, but was hoping for a little character. — 13 days ago

Was just okay. Expected more. Didn’t come close to the Tempier Bandol I had prior. Lacked fruit and umph. — 20 days ago

I can’t believe I stopped buying this. Most underrated and best value CA Chard out there. You need to try this! Rich, complex, and just fits my palate. — 12 days ago
