“Light, bright, yellow. Fresh pear, lemon pith, jasmine and hint of vanilla on the nose. Silky and focused on the palate, offering lively citrus and orchard fruit flavors that deepen and pick up a hint of sweetness with air. Closes on a gently smoky note, displaying tight focus and lingering floral and Meyer lemon notes.”

Aromas of cooked apple, yogurt and shaved pine. Some vanilla. It’s full-bodied with plenty of fruit and wood. The new oak dominates the palate now making it a little old school. But there’s plenty of good fruit underneath. If you want a full-throttle chard, here it is.

Balanced and compete, with hints of salted butter shortbread and plump tangerine, mango and peach flavors on a juicy, fleshy frame, followed by spicy accents on the finish. Drink now. 49,000 cases made.
