I’m not quite ready to go 98 on this like RP did when he declared it the best young chard he’s ever tasted, it is fantastic though. It’s put on more weight with years in the bottle with added richness now on top of the tropical fruits and a creaminess that overlays the whole package.

2012 vintage. After 30 minutes of air this was a real stunner. This incredible vineyard paired with the winemaking skill of TRB makes it no wonder I was independently told by 3 people that this was the best chard in a room full of the best chards Cali has to offer.

2013. Freaking amazing. One of the best whites of the year so far. Everything is integrated, a seamless wine.

Absolutely killer wine. Lemon curd and crushed stone mixes with pine sap and orange peel touched with honeysuckle.
