Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Clear straw yellow color. Aromas of stone and tropical fruits. The palate shows creamy peach, pear and melon with lemony notes and some minerality. Although the wine had good balance and medium finish, it was overly creamy indicating malolactic fermentation was overdone. Not a favorite.

Lovely easy-drinking chard. Buttery and smooth with zero wood (which I like).

Absolutely wonderful- the smell of fruit loops begins the experience of this medium bodied yet powerful Chard. Very balanced and leaves you wanting more as the finish tapers off with a nice crisp "yeah!" Can't wait to find this again!!
