Smells over-oaked on the nose but this hardly comes through on the palate. Acid and some citrus notes take center stage. I like this wine but I'm a little shocked at its price point.

A chard worthy of royalty. Flowery and pears and apples and amazing.

Medium yellow, moderate intensity. A little dirty to start on the nose, light citrus notes like lemon zest undertone. As it opens a little creamy notes come through. Moderate plus acidity (7.5/10) and medium bodied. A little sharp. Lemon on the palate with a long finish. Needs a little time to balance out. Drink till 2024.

Nearly perfect Cali Chard. Balanced - just enough acidity, oak, and notes of citrus, vanilla, nutmeg.

High quality citrus and vanilla oak. Notes of pineapple. Went very well with seafood risotto and saffron mussels. I enjoyed this wine, but it’s really overpriced.

Juicy citrus and floral notes with hints of herb, nut, and cream.

Great chard but suffered a little by comparison with the Kistler immediately prior
