Crisp and beat. Balanced and dry with hints of oxidation. Admirable clarity and balance for a US chard. Not wildly complex but a good wine, old world in style

This is a revelation. I didn’t know Cali Chardonnay, aside from Kistler, could age. Still youthful color. Very Burgundian nose has wet limestoney earth, a little hazelnut, lemon oil, gorgeous apple/pear fruit. Focused in the mouth, nice intensity and length, surprising freshness. Blind, I would definitely place this as being a very good village Burg.

Nice mature chard. A touch of nuttiness, oak, some ripe citrus leaning tangerine, good acidity.

Lemon curd and baked apples. The acid is keeping this surprisingly youthful for 8yrs old. I nice little chard for creamy dishes.
