Pale straw yellow in the glass and bursting with aromas of lemon curd, pineapple and light toast. Balance, layers and complexity drive this wine that is still alive and kicking 14 years later. In the mouth the wine oozes with Meyer lemon, lime zest, and toasted hazelnuts. The finish is dry, long and briney with a touch of smoke.

Tropical fruit nose. Creamy texture. Bananas, peaches, honey crisp apple. Well balanced acid leaving you wanting a buttery dish.

Lively fruit, nice minerality. Mostly I was shocked I didn't hate it.

Not usually a fan of Napa Chards, but this was restrained, fruity, and beautiful.

Rather sweet stone fruit les nose, oak dominates a touch in the mouth but finishes with toasty tropical fruit (good wine)
