Light straw in color. The nose is lemon grass and minerals. On the palate lemon and oak predominate all with the typical Monterey mineral backbone followed by a hint of mango and pineapple. Trends toward a little too much oak in the finish for what is a light to medium bodied chard. The acid is quite nice, though.
