New released 2012 GR Chard, dangerously addicting. The butter and the settle oak are super on the palate!

Vintage 2012 tasted Mar 2015 - I echo prior reviewer's comments: Lithe Monterey lime/lemon custard on the nose, followed by very slight burnt butterscotch seductive beauty. Follows through well in the palate. Can't keep from sipping good times. Very well over delivers in price point.

Not as sweet as the regular kj. Still, it is what it is.

I like using this with white grape juice to make a wine cooler.

Much better than Vinter's Reserve. Less than $10 @ Costco. Very good deal!
