For Chard fans who like the creme bruele finish. Creamy but not buttery if you do not like acid driven whites think this one

A bit strange for a Chard. Bouquet said field grasses and so did taste. Smooth and low acidity but not in love with the flavor

Great red fruit. Exactly what you would expect from a Russian River Pinot.

Full bodied Russian River Chardonnay. Very light oak and not buttery. Has the essence of mango, banana and pineapple with a baked orange peel finish. Interesting and complex.

Thank you Ryan for the initial introduction. 2007 is a lovely wine. Soft, some subtle acidity, mild fruits. No oak on this finish. Bright, lively.
