Typical Napa Chard, but done very well. It is very big, but still in balance. A lot of pare, mango, pineapple, very tropical with vanilla and butterscotch all the way. A li of oak also.

Sweet French oak and pear. Might do better with some more bottle age and integration.

French oak barrels, aged nine months, weekly lees stirring heightens toasty notes, full malolactic fermentation inspires layered creaminess (back label)

Much better after a few more months

soft white chardonnay with floral and vintage tones, the flavor is very light and a crowd pleaser. short lingering finish of around 5 seconds. tones fluctuate as bottle airs

Tighter than I expected. Too high in alcohol.

Not as good tonight even after an hour decant. Bottle variation perhaps?
