Class CA Chard. Small production modern style, best vintage in decades what’s not to love

The nose is righteous! Banana walnut bread, and tropical fruit. The palate disappointed in comparison. Interesting wine, but missing something

Tropical fruit notes with a hint of peach- drinks just as great on day 2 as it does freshly opened- definitely a crowd pleaser and a huge value for the $$.

Pronounced butter and burnt vanilla. Medium bodied, popcorn and lemon. Decent acidity with notes of papaya. $17

Love this Chardonnay. A perfect balance of oak and butter. Hint of both not overwhelming. Notes of bananas and pineapples. Very fresh and bright. Goes perfect with seafood.
