  Stone fruits, and apples pear, medium plus acidity and finish. Nicely balanced fruit and oak.

  This is a lovely, bright, medium slightly golden, lemon yellow color. The nose shows some creaminess along with lemon, tangerine and a slightly honeyed note. Palate has a fairly rich, medium density mouth feel and only medium acidity. Palate is a touch smokey along with lemon curd, white peach and a long, saline finish. I believe this is the producer's entry level Chard. They also make a large number of single vineyard wines (8, I think) from some of the most well known Chard vineyards in California. I have yet to taste them, but will try on my next trip to the left coast.
