Top Notes For
Byron C Mayes

Bright deep yellow gold. Shy nose matches the palate of baked quince with a citrusy essence. Charred cobbler crust comes through midpalate to the finish (which is kinda lengthy). Full body and medium acidity round out the picture. A solid all-around New World Chard that will compliment a wide range of “white wine” fare, from baked fish to pork tenderloin to Thanksgiving dinner. It *is* getting to be that time, after all.

East to west running mountain ranges this if one of the first wineries in this area. A good amount of juicy fruit here on the tongue nice freshness and a touch of vanilla spice and tongue tingly acidity

Dig the restraint, in balance, value driven, lighter too on the guava paste/ pineapple. Score!
