The Chard Project

Mer Soleil

Reserve Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2016

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... — 8 years ago

The Gardens of Babylon California Red Blend 2010

Both really bright and really deep. Black currant, black raspberry followed by a hit of red currant and red raspberry. About an hour of decant until it was really hitting its stride. — 9 years ago

Another Chard made in an oxidative style. Loved this two years ago, but this had more baked apple and less verve. — 9 years ago

Bricco Babelico Tenbrink Vineyards Petite Sirah 2009

2009 Vintage. Another world. Similar to an Amarone. Cherry liqueur, blueberry crumble, and wild berry fruit. Mealy tannins, high alcohol, but surprisingly cohesive and lovely. — 11 years ago

Frank Family Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2015

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

Riquewihr Lost Slough Vineyards Gewürztraminer 2015

The 2015, the other half of the night's comparison. Less subtle, more floral. Jasmine, rose petal, honey. All powerful, but all a bit separate and distinct. I think this could lie down for a good while. Will be pleased to try another bottle in a few years. — 9 years ago

Hanzell Vineyards

Sonoma Valley Chardonnay 2013

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. — 9 years ago

Marcassin

Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay

2009 - Wow.... Just when Cali wines were starting to bore me, this came along with a crazy long finish. Can't imagine a better chard than this. Full bodied and well integrated oak with a little vanilla. Great honeysuckle and fruit. The acidity is at a perfect place; creates structure, but isn't searing. Wonderful. Ready to drink now, but no rush. — 11 years ago

Tasty older chard. Still plenty of freshness. Very balanced and complete wine. Restraint at birth yielding wisdom with age? Well made, cool wine. Minerality? Having fun @PRESS_St_Helena with Scott. Thanks for the taste of '66 La Mission Haut Brion! — 13 years ago
