Cali Chard was Rich, Fresh & Smooth . Not sure where the “flavors of apple slices drizzled in lemon juice and lime zest” were Matt Kettmann- Wine Enthusiast.... But maybe another bottle I’ll be able to find them?!

Oaked but not too oaky. Paired beautifully with pork loin, compliments flavors and refreshes you along the way. Very vibrant and clear, golden delicious apples and citrus nuances accentuate the silky texture and the surprisingly long finish for a Chardonnay.

Sassy and a hint of spice. Reminds me a little of my first girlfriend. This glass lasted longer than our relationship.

Floral, without much acid or mineral to prop it up.
