Bright fruit but the acid is tasting a little high on the finish (1/15)

Nice amount of oak and creaminess. A bit of a citrus taste with a smooth medium finish.

Nice #Chard from the #Napa. Golden colour, subdued bouquet, oak, citrus and apple notes. Good amount of acidity to finish off gently. #Summerwine this, paired with white asparagus and creamy hollandaise sauce.

Pretty good Chard with tastes of vanilla, citrus and pear. Nice smooth finish with not a lot of bite. We had the 2013 Vintage on 4/13-14/16.
