Did not like this wine - low acid and somewhat bitter on my palate. 35% Chard, 20% Roussane, 20% Viognier. Abv 14.5%

Didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Rich, and layered.

Basically Rhone and California chard thrown together. Riesling and Viognier for the aroma.

It was unique. A little too disjointed for me. It was sweet honey-laced chardonnay and then tart and crisp and full of minerality.
