Generally I'm not a fan of Napa Chard because it is often over-oaked. This isn't and had good acidity and structure.

Very pale green color with yellow highlights and under ripe white peach, tropical fruit, and citrus aromas. lemon aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, fresh and nicely balanced with white peach, pineapple, pear and a bit of spice flavors and a lemony minerality. Medium finish
