Great wine. Nice acidity but with creamy undertones. Not a wine for the ‘professionals’ as it doesn’t fit their oaky template. Just a wonderful wine with food. 2013.

Bought this wine out of barrel at ANV in 2011 I think. This was a intense Chard that didn't mince words. Powerful focused wine with extreme acidic backbone and lean citrus profile. Hope this wine ages well because it's just too in your face right now.

Sweetened grapefruit on the nose. Very light and bright in the glass. Acid balanced with mellow smoothness. Notes of grapefruit and Meyer lemon. Hints at Ramey Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard. Perfect for a summer evening.
