A wee BP:
1. Thing this is the first Bedrock Chard I can recall having. It's a very good/solid Chard that reminds me a lot of young Hanzell Chard because of the structure but with a bit more subdued fruit.

I am surprised the Bedrock guys would make a Chardonnay with (as you state) "strong toasty/Fr.oak." I would have expected a less oaky expression. Will be interesting to try.

Yeah, David..I was surprised by the amount of oak it showed, given its upbringing. Not excessive, but definitely there.
