A notch above the Charles Heintz for best Ceritas chard, IMO. Delightful, light and crisp. — 6 years ago

Wow. Mark’s Lauren Vineyard chard is always my favorite, but this 2008 is absolutely unreal. Incredible nose of honeysuckle, white flowers, lemon peel, and a touch of vanilla, the mouthfeel on this is unbelievable. Impeccable balance, with a finish that lasts well over a minute, this is one of the best chardonnays I’ve had in a long time. Just awesome. — 6 years ago

Lovely chard! Neutral French oak, no hints of butter. My kind of chard! — 7 years ago

I think that there is some bottle variation here. Last week I had the luck to try this wine, and two weeks in a row I had the chance to try this wine again. This bottle was not as 'elegant' as the last bottle. There was less fruit, less acidity, less oak......compared to a Kistler Chard Dutton of the same year, this one lost the battle IMO, although I think it was a 50/50 split for those who tried it. I think that I was expecting this one to be as roundedd as the bottle that we tried last week, and this one simply didn't hoild up the same way. Good notes, definitely more of a pineapple but really without that citrus bite. Overripe honeydew and mango are more the note here. Not as much minerality, not as 'dried' on the finish. Nice wine....wouldn't kick it out of bed for sure. But if you have some of these, it's time to start poppin' some corks! — 8 years ago

Owned by Richard Frank and Koerner Rombauer. Straw with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus & vanilla scents. On the palate complex flavors of crisp apple, melon & lemon, balanced with good acidity & great mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with toasty mineral spice. Nice, opened 6 months after lates tasting and flavors were enhanced. Great Chard. — 8 years ago

My first Kosta Browne chard! I like it! Opened it while cooking and it started with a nice lemon essence ... Over time it took on buttery notes with some toasted pear. Pairing just beautifully with my zucchini and pinenut pasta .... I may be deliriously happy, or my wine might taste like creme brûlée. — 5 years ago

Hard to beat LF from a QPR perspective, or any other perspective when it comes to Cali Chard. Beautifully cut notes of river rock, lemon zest, sage pepper all in a restrained and balanced package. — 7 years ago

Not a Cali Chard fan normally but this is delish. Might be the leftover excitement from talking winemaking with Chuck Wagner yesterday but I loved this wine. Burgundian almost... — 7 years ago

This wine is right at the top of the hill and ready to kick some butt. Perfectly balanced, rounded edges, stoneground fruit nose and front. Much more minerality here, some butter but the "buttah score" is probably 2/10 on this wine. The middle is rather dense, rich, full. Slightly underripe mango. Finished with a nice stone ground minerality. What a perfectly weighted chard!! Best white wine of the night without question, although a 2012 Condrieu Viognier seemed like it was 'on deck' as I was leaving therefore this one could have outdone this one, but if it did, it couldn't have been a runaway difference. This one has 5-7 years additional, so the 2015-2023 drink window suggested by CT is rather solid and right on the money. — 8 years ago

Love this Chard. Tangerine, Meyer lemon, and well balanced. Showed a little less complex but probably because it was drank a bit colder than usual to keep us refreshed on the patio. — 8 years ago
