Achieves integrity and wholeness most wines miss. Bright and exceptionally pure. Has that lively quality standard wines do not have. Very high quality fruit has both dimension and tension.

This is an unoaked stainless steel tank fermented version of Californian Chard from Mendocino County. This is unfortunately a charmless rendition of the grape variety. Muted fruits expressing hints of lemon, apple, asian pear. Medium acidity. Burning sensation aftertaste with traces of peach and apricot. Short.
