An elegant, expressive and awesome California Chard: incredible creamy vanilla notes on the nose, followed by a nice slight oak meets slight citrus to combine and form a perfect union of bliss. Golden color, sharp finish and a fine example of why Napa is such the big deal that it is.

Golden yellow colour with a full body mouthfeel. Lemon zest, pineapple, vanilla, baking spices and burnt pie crust on the palette. Overwhelmingly oaked gave it a smoky flavour….almost felt like the true essence of the wine was a bit lost beneath the smoke.

Glad I’m alone, so only I have to taste the shame of my poor decisions.

A nice Chardonnay with a good hint of vanilla on the nose
Not too oakey (is that a word?) Smooth mouth feel.

Beautiful deep gold color. Very buttery and slightly acidic at first with hints of vanilla and caramel. Solid wine

Tastes like the inside of an old bicycle inner tube. Perfect for those summer days when even your glass of wine reminds you that climate collapse is imminent and the little things suck.
