  It was fine. Typical napa chard. I was hoping for a more nuanced and integrated wine given this now has a decent amount of age on it for a white. I feel like it degraded since the last time I tried two years ago - especially on the nose, losing some nuance and redeeming character. Drink up, buy this house's cab instead

  Light, easy chard. Citrus without too much acidity, and very minimal oak and butter (a good thing!). More French than Napa in style. Drink now.

  Lovely Chard! At first taste, delicious citrus notes with a little acid on the back end. But wine was served a little too cold at first. As it warmed and opened up a bit, delicious flavors of stone fruits and maybe a little Honeycrisp apple? This is one of our faves and the 2016 didn’t disappoint.

  Much better than past Chards from Palmaz. Medium body with nice citrus flavors, and smooth light finish. Great for happy hour, don't think it will add much for dinner. A good wine, but high price makes for low QPR. Drinking well now.
