This bold Chardonnay arm-wrestled me for control of my mouth until at half-bottle we made peace. I developed a respect for it that led me to finish it, and regret its emptiness. Oak aplenty, I sensed cut grass amid a fairly balanced acidity and potent alcohol level. Maybe the rectangular bottle is stronger, and meant to keep this powder keg wine from exploding.

Super suprised on this chard. As it got warmer it really opened up with great hints of apple and good punch of oak amd butter.

Buttery, so buttery. Bread & bright apples on the nose. Quite nice! Buttery with a juicy, light finish.

Very fruit forward and buttery. Smooth with no bitterness, Easy to drink, with complex flavor. Paired with white wine Alfredo over prosciutto ricotta tortellini
