Picked this up over the weekend for $27; seeing as the '96 vintage was stellar for CA chard I thought it might still be worth a try.

Clear pale golden straw w/mineral, lemon, and pineapple notes, only a touch of oak. Lemon curd, tropical fruits and nutty oak on the palate, still has good acidity, and a long finish. Not a full-bodied as I expect it was 4-5 years ago, but still very nice. 88-89 pts.

Kybo,

I didn't know that that the "Generations" also came in a white wine. I just assumed it was the cab blend only. Thanks for your TN. Is this your first time trying the Raymond Generations white?

No, I've had this before but quite a while back. I'm not sure about the production qty. of this as I rarely see it retail.
