Fruity and full bodied. Oaky. Slight cotton candy and orange in the lingering oaky finish. Low acid. Some silk in the mouthfeel. Unusual. Not typical CA chard other than the oak. A bit much for me though, less oak would be better.

I love Cakebread Chardonnay but can't afford it. This is like a baby Cakebread! Buttery but with notes of fruit.
