A very fine Chard with special features that come from the appellation. The fruit is a melange of key lime pie and white peach, drizzled with vanilla and cinnamon, with hints of smoky oak. These mountains always seem to develop a firm, steely acidity that makes the wines ultraclean.——S.H.(12/1/2004)—— 90

Opens with apple, butter, and toasty oak aromas. Adds mild spices and butterscotch in the mouth, which is of medium weight and fairly round in feel. Long tangy finsh. A solid and straight-ahead wine.——W.E.(6/1/2000)—— 87

Fans of heavy oak will love this wine. Happily, there is a nugget of ripe fruit at the center, which saves it in the nick of time from being completely over-the-top.——L.W.(11/15/1999)—— 83
