Forgot to post this. My memory is fading. It came across with somewhat grainy tannins and earthy notes.

I beg to differ on my prior rating. With some airtime, this comes into its own. Places merlot on a different level. The cab franc gives this structure and presence. No rush to consume. Nice acidity and cherry compote on the mid palate. Finished luscious and moderately sweet. — 24 days ago

In my mind, Hudson are producing chards at the same level as Aubert and Kistler. This example displays pineapples and peaches on the nose. The wine glides across the mid-palate. So well behaved and weighty. Exotic fruits are juxtaposed with a delicate cut grass note. Finishes moderately sweet. This will cellar for a good 7-10 years. If I were to taste angels piss, I imagine it would taste like this! 😇 — 17 days ago

A more leaner rendition of this varietal, but in a good way. Nose displays clean cinnamon and toast. Palate is broad and expansive, yet light on its feet. A kiss of vanilla pod and black fruits conclude an excellent presentation. This is an intellectual wine.

Very approachable now. Exotic nose of tropical fruits with a hint of chives. Lemon sherbet on the mid-palate with moderate to soft acidity, suggesting that this is for short-term cellaring. Beautiful white peach notes and light sweetness conclude a superb overall presentation. — 8 days ago

Someone stole the jam from my donut today, hence I’m pissed.

It’s good, but lacks the panache I’m looking for in top flight chards. Maybe this needs more bottle age, sniff… — 15 days ago

We love this wine, but it’s grossly overpriced. Green apples and lychee on the nose transitions to soft, supple notes of marzipan, along with a velvety texture. What we love about this wine is its ability to age. No worries holding onto this into the short to medium-term. But for the love of god, throw us a bone on pricing, please 🙏🏾 — a month ago

Enjoyable and linear, but nothing spectacular. — a month ago
