Sipping Fine Wine

Most of wine cool aged in French oak, the rest in stainless with weekly bâtonnage. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with toasty oak aromas. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach with citrus zest and nutty oak notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and mineral spice character.

The winner of the bunch. Lean, restrained with fitting new world oak and decadence beautifully integrated into a more complex palate than typical of Napa Chard .

Pretty delicious stuff. Very well integrated oak. Firm acid backbone. Stainless steel ferment. Distinct floral quality.

Love that fact the all the fruit is 100% estate grown. Great acidity in this wine, comes across like it has a little effervescent. Tart, green apple, crushed pineapple and wet stone round out this chard. Great price point in a category that can get pricey.
