Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Owned by Richard Frank and Koerner Rombauer. Pale lemon with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus & vanilla scents. On the palate complex flavors of crisp apple, melon & lemon, balanced with good acidity & great mouthfeel. Long finish ending with toasty mineral spice. Nice, aging well had this about 6 months ago, consistent quality. A Great Chard.

Brilliant effort. Very impressed with this showing. Bright acidity with soft oak treatment. Almonds, brioche and butterscotch bring home the experience.

Tasty sweet melons, a hint of pepper and a nice finish.

Ok. Good but a little acidic, lemon, banana flavor. Carneros qualities but have had better. Would get to have if price was right.
