Always a great chard, but the 15 is not up there with the 11, 12, 13 or 14. Typical Sea Smoke signature of honey, brioche and butterscotch. I anticipate that this will improve with age.

A great expression of the varietal, but not as tight as prior vintages. This is more delicate and restrained. A lighter structured wine, which is not built for long-term aging.

Butter bomb. If you like that heavy cream, it holds up with some good ones.

Sunday Dinner with the DisCerni's. Opened 2014 Sea Smoke Chardonnay. Crisp Clean with a little spice on the palate.
