Although this one did tend to have a citrus rich body, it is definitely a malo mouthfeel and more of a buttery chard. This wine was still quite delicious, and it's not really even my style. I was getting some lemongrass on the front, with a peach and mango note in the middle. The finish is more on the buttery side for my taste, but still went lovely with cheese and meat. Probably would have gone very well with Italian spiced nuts or with an herbal chicken dish. I believe this wine probably would have been more comprehensive if served with food. I think this one definitely has the longevity to age, but I'd put more stock in the Judge chard to do that most effectively. — 8 years ago

Although a tick higher in alc, lighter on the palate than the Hommage Allan Grenache blend. Nice Syrah profile. Very enjoyable. — 9 years ago

Promising. L006 far far too young. Lovely tannins in the finish but will need a decade or three to articulate. — 10 years ago
