Clear straw yellow color. Aromas of stone and tropical fruits. The palate shows creamy peach, pear and melon with lemony notes and some minerality. Although the wine had good balance and medium finish, it was overly creamy indicating malolactic fermentation was overdone. Not a favorite.

Drinkable but disappointing. The fruit’s flabby but the acidity is too bracing, which makes for an odd combination. Almost an interesting mineral characteristic but sometimes drifts into tasting watered down. All that said we’re still going to finish the bottle so . . . 🤷🏻‍♂️

Clean, crisp. 0 oak in this gen. Pears, peaches, honey and the occasional flower fill the nose on this chard. Really great bouquet. Darker golden yellow color and soft elegant finish. This will go fabulous in and with the mussels and clams going on the grill soon!

Lovely easy-drinking chard. Buttery and smooth with zero wood (which I like).
