Ride of the Valkyries. It's a big boy, just keeping it together in this vintage. But hey, what Paul Draper says, goes. Not big in an obnoxious way, just big. Reminds me of Kongsgaard a lot this vintage.

Almond, vanilla, and a hint of citrus on the nose. Bright and crisp with honeysuckle and a lingering finish.

Beautiful, nailed the timing on opening this 2010 vintage bottle! Lemon, vanilla and a hint of pineapple turnover on the nose; supple and lovely mouthfeel showing mellow citrus and tropical fruit flavors, a hint of vanilla, and very soft, moderated acid, with a lovely, long finish. Easily the best chard we've had in many months.
