Crisp apple ripe nectarine and bright citrus. Framed in well integrated oak. Full fresh and not at all overdone, as some chards can be. Quite nice! But im a fan of most avenel's wines

Citrus and stone fruit. Bright. Something of a bitterness before the finish.

Nice Zin though a little on the lighter side. Almost like a Pinot Noir with sweet taste.

Sophisticated fruit - some orchard but more citrous. Refreshing acidity on a nice finish.
