Rock solid entry level SBC chard...gives you a little of everything, lemon zest, green pear, yellow peach, mineral/sea salt, very subtle toasted nuts. Well suited for any role from dinner party crowd pleaser to movie night popcorn accompaniment

Whoa. Without looking I thought this was a Vyd designate- nope. Just a stunning Santa Barb Chard.

The back of the label reads "what I dream of is an art of balance" and superior balance is what they have achieved. Nose is ripe and rich, with new aromas on every sip. Lemon curd on warm brioche, backing minerality and traces of vanilla & white florals. Palate shows laces of malo, adding a rich velvety aspect to the firm acidity and ripe fruit. Extremely savory and refreshing. Favorite CA chard.
