Solid but this is traditional California. Tons of butter, new oak, over ripe citrus.

Notes of citrus, pear and apricot. Lightly creamy with hints of acid and oak on the finish. Very light overall.

Reserve bottling. Scents of pineapple, apple and butterscotch. Honey, almonds and some oak. Full bodied, but not overpowering. Great with cedar plank grilled salmon.

A nice little Russian river chard - leans toward rich and buttery but not overly so, nice tart citrus notes, acid lifting the wine up.

Sweet, fruity, delicious, velvety/leathery taste. Yummy on its own.
