Solid Mendo chard in a ripe style with petrol-butter and baked Burbank Russet. Pronounced lily and marigold. Asparagus and almonds on the nose. Medium mouthfeel with yellow apple, lemongrass, cornmeal, dry cider, lemon oil, saffron, sage, orange zest, tangerine pith, and a hint of lime and merengue. Not as dessert as this description implies, nor as tropical. Good restraint and a chalky-mineral-earth-force. #mendocinowine #mendocino #chardonayday #chardonnay #chardday #andersonvalley

Holding up remarkably well over two days.
Wish I had saved some of their "Deep Time" bottling to compare.

Drink the pink! Summer of Rose continues with this light refreshing fruity rose. Just a little hint of spice to keep things interesting.

Light but gets bigger on the palate with time. Good Pinot given the price.
