Best Chard That I've Had In A Long Time

[Bucko]

1998, Guenoc, Chardonnay, Genevieve Magoon Vineyard, Reserve, Unfiltered, Guenoc Valley, California, $30. Deeply colored, the somewhat reticent nose finally yields yellow delicious apple and hazelnut notes. Impeccably balanced and very Burgundian in style, the wine has lovely fruit, hazelnuts and elegant oak flavors in the background. An excellent effort. 93/90.
