Honeysuckle, lemon meringue & honeycomb aromatics. Low acidity. This carries a waxy, honeyed almond palate...almost a savory note once it warms; really nice...more ripe and powerful than other Hudson chards. Drinking in its prime now. Delicious.

13' Let it open up in your glass for a bit. Just below cellar temperature is the perfect way to drink this. A little more old world than the 12.' Bedrock, slate, green apples. Citrus flavors on the backside of the palate . Just the perfect amount of oak. I haven't tasted anything like this coming out of Hudson vineyards before. I do believe this wine will taste even better with a little time.

A big rich cal chard, but with enough acidity to lift it.

For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds).

Burgundian in nature. Bermuda highway. Paired well with scallops. A little young.
