Lemon curd on the nose, buttery with lots of citrus fruits on the palate

Nice light amber color, full bodied and just enough fruit. Clean and nice butter on the palate. Very much enjoyed.

You don't always have to pay a lot for Napa! New vintage. Nice restraint, oak kept in check. Crisp, humming acidity. Nice marriage of oak barrel and stainless steel preparation.

Refined oak but plenty of fruit, especially pear.

Stereotypical but attractively priced Napa Chard. Would be solid if it were a little more racy.

2014 chard. Light on the oak. Just the right amount of butteriness and hints of vanilla

Creamy. buttery. A bit of lemon... pledge. It paired well with my meal, however, it won’t blow your mind. I guess it’s okay for the price point.
