WTN: Two Dehlinger Chards '22....(short/boring)

We tasted these two at Pig+Fig on Wed in a tasting of Calif Burgundies:
1, Dehlinger Chard GarboRanch RRV/SonomaCnty (14.2%) 2022: Light gold color; strong appley/melony/Chard bit honeyed light pencilly/toasty/Fr.oak bit simpler very attractive nose; fairly tart rather rich/lush ripe/melony/Chard slight appley some toasty/pencilly/Fr.oak balanced flavor; very long/lingering ripe/melony/Chard finish that mimics flavor; an absolutely lovely balanced lightly oak expression of RRV Chard at a very good price. $35.00

2. Dehlinger Chard Estate RRV (14.2%) 2022: Light gold bit hazy color; more ripe quite melony/Chard/spicy fairly toasty/Fr.oak more complex fragrant nose; lightly tart more toasty/Fr.oak fairly ripe/melony/Chard bit more complex/spicy flavor; very long/lingering ripe/melony/Chard finish that tracks flavor; a lovely perfumed RRV Chard that is a bit more intense & complex. $48.00

More vizzlefurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Both of these wines were distintly Dehlinger Chards w/ a good balance between oak & ripe melony fruit. I slightly preferred the Estate for its greater depth & intensity & complexity, but neither one would I throw out of bed.
Garbo Ranch is a vnyd nearby the Dehlinger Estate that they purchased several yrs ago.
