I love this wine because it's smooth and friendly albeit a bit thin but wonderful to drink by itself. And by yourself :p.

Not bad for the price. The currants stood out the most

I was traveling and wanted a bottle to go with a prepared meal from Sprouts. This was just an impulse buy and it's ok but it does have a very fruity taste to it. It will get the job done.

A nice Central Coast Chard, perfect on a warm afternoon or evening. Not overly "stylized" , opens with a bit of pineapple and tropical notes. A nice, crisp gala apple finish.

It is a little acidic, but not overly sweet considering the lower alcohol content. Great value for the price.
