Call me a snob, but I gotta tell ya, I was a bit put back by the screw-top... But that's just me... Anyway, it's a decent chard, with got a pretty long finish, and some nice flavors of pears, apricots, melons. There was also something else I couldn't quite pinpoint... maybe almonds(?)... or maybe it's just something else with the oak(?), I just couldn't quite pick it up. My main gripe is that for $24, i think you can do a bit better. I picked it up on sale at Safeway for $14, but i don't know that I'd be willing to pay too much more than that.
