Medium plus nose is pretty, dried cherry, raspberry, rose petal, orange peel, tea leaf. Palate is fruit driven but light style, tasty layers, excellent value. Leans a little to Oregon in style.

No oak. Medium plus nose is a little reductive and smells like Burgundy, mushroom, lemon pith, fresh earth, Bosch pear. Palate has a little more Cali richness but still leans Burgundian. Nice complexities for the price point, probably the most Burgundian California Chard at this point I've had.

60 year old vines, more neutral oak and whole cluster than her l'Alchimiste. Medium nose shows violets, black cherry. Palate less expressive than Alchimiste, but tasty, less Beaujolais-like, more Burgundian. This one probably could use more time.

I corrected it on cellar tracker. Thank you. Libero
