Apricot, peach and camomile on the nose and palate. Presents regal density and viscosity on the mid palate. Finishes with roasted almonds and soft acidity. Caresses the palate in all the right ways.

Delicious medium body chard. Creamy but not buttery. Oak is pushed a bit. Fruit is a little zesty, lemon peel, and maybe slight nuttiness, macadamian? I like it, young obviously. Keep it cellared and come back to it in Fall 2024 or beyond.

Lemon, tangerine, and other tropical fruits. Very zesty, oaky, and sumptuous.

Outstanding. I loved the 2018, and the 2017 is just as good. Bright, fresh tropical fruits. Lychee, coconut, pineapple, and tangerine. A bit (but not too) buttery and zesty.

Outstanding. I love Tor’s wines, but am particularly fond of his white wines. This has hints of honeydew, orange blossoms, cashew, other tropical fruits, and pineapple upside-down cake. Thoroughly delicious!

It’s Chardonnay week! First the Jarvis Finch Hollow and now Tor Beresini. Excellent

Seems as though it was fermented in oak. A lot of creamy vanilla. Montrachet in style. Nice wine. I’d prefer a lighter hand on the oak.

Delicious start to an evening at Chef and the Farmer. If I had not seen this wine’s TNs, would have thought steel tanks were used. Will seek out other TOR chards after this evening
