Pale lemon with stone fruit aromas & floral oaky tones. On the palate apple and pear flavors, buttery with layered spice, vivid acidity supporting the oak aging. Medium+ finish ending with citrus mineral chatacteristics. Very nice, drinking well now.

Drank 9/27/18 at a tasting event. Tasting pour.

Light fruit, with butter, vanilla, and some bread notes. Rich mouthfeel with buttery flavors, coupled with some apple and citrus. Medium finish

Delicious wine! Everyone loved it. Great chard! Not oaky or maybe just slightly so.

Great chard— what I think of as having California Chardonnay. Enjoyed with Mareike Ingrid and renate celebrating Astrid’s birthday

Like woah. Def picking a bone with this one. An exemplary "California style Chardonnay"

Awesome chard. Nice straw color but packed with flavor. Great notes of apple, honeysuckle, and oak with a great buttery mouthfeel. Very easy to drink.

Smooth not tart. Lower acidity for Chardonnay. Smooth medium long finish. Similar profile to Mer Soliel but less minerality.
