Red Delicious apples, tropical fruit, nutmeg and baking spice on the nose with some dairy. Straw to gold color. Lot of new oak on the palate along with some artificially added acid. Some lemon on the short finish. Good for those seeking heavy oak.

Very enjoyable Chard from Iron Horse which is more renown for their sparkling wines. Green Valley minerality + wonderful fruit and acidity

Found this in our home library. Didn’t mean to hang onto it this long, but it turned out to be a really nice wine. Joy and her people sure do a great job every time.
