  Easy going chard. Tropical fruit, butter, lemon curd in a light body. Low acidity.

  Rich yet light. Feels boozy but not hot at 14.5%. Bright, gently acidic in a red apple way, non tannic. Greenish. Pear notes. Very gentle oak notes. Tastes like a very typical Chardonnay, but one of high quality. Very Slight minerality

  More fruity than I remembered when buying it. But pleasant if not my ideal. Tropical fruit forward medium acidity.

  Honeysuckle and cream, bitter minerals, steely iron ore thing, a little alcohol… good oaky finish.

  Drank at a virtual wine club get together during COVID.
  
  Quintessential buttery oaky Napa chard. Not quite as buttery as a Rombauer.
  
  Color- straw, pale yellow
  Nose: lemon zest, tropical fruit, fresh cut grass, freshly opened tennis balls.
  Body: Medium -
  Acid: Medium
  
  Overall a textbook Napa Chardonnay. A bit higher in the alcohol than I would have liked. I give it an 89.
