Tasty and easy drinking style with crisp fruits and a nice finish. A great value at around $25.

Nice mineral driven chard. None of that mouth breather buttery fuckery.

I tossed this bottle in the freezer before I opened it, in order to dull what I expected to be "hideous and grotesque lemon juice qualities." However, I find myself regretful for doing suchness, as this wine appears to be above average. I will need to try this again, only this time I won't purposely ruin it before drinking.

Refreshing and light. Has citrus and green apple that comes across well balanced. Went well with salmon salad entries from Pasta Pomodoro.
