Very light chard. Great with the foie gras avocado toast. Kept getting better as the temperature changed in the glass. — 7 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

Smooth dry balanced chard. Light butter so light that the aftertaste is butter. — 8 years ago

A beautiful Hanzell with some age. Toast, nuts carmel, on the nose and carmel, hazelnut and pear on the palate. This is why you lose great California chard in your cellar. — 9 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

Great Chard - every time I have a Ceritas, I wonder why I don't drink them more often. Good acidity, with a whisper of pear and lime. — 10 years ago

A favorite bottle to commemorate some new ink. Always love LF, as this is a chard that definitely grows and progresses as it opens up and warms up in the glass. Beautiful notes of iris, candied pineapple, melon, toasted walnuts, and saline minerality on the nose. Gorgeous texture and purity of fruit.. bruised apple, Meyer lemon, papaya, and chalky minerals. Bright zingy acidity on the backend, but not as lean as something like Ceritas or Failla - a bit more baby fat and textural complexity on this bottle that keeps you coming back for more. A perfect hybrid of styles by Jeff Nelson and co. Paired with a creamy bow tie pasta with dried tomatoes and a spring salad. — 6 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

Another Chard made in an oxidative style. Loved this two years ago, but this had more baked apple and less verve. — 7 years ago

Green barnyard funk, green peppers and cut grass, Granny Smith apple. Like drinking carbonated, alcoholic apple juice. Sneaky high alcohol packs a punch. — 8 years ago

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. — 9 years ago
