| | Tasted by DTWOB on 12/22/2008 & rated 89 points: Nice wine; Clear, crisp light straw color, sweet with a hint of citrus on the nose, nice balanced flavors of peach and pears on the palate with a small -mint bite; absence of any tannins, yet the heat and the acidity gives this wine ample structure. Very long finish. It paired well with a spiced shrimp/vegetable/pasta stir fry. (2886 views) |
| | Tasted by ikkaariainen on 8/3/2008 & rated 87 points: Enjoyed a bottle last night with Kim, Bill and Debbie at Lake Hickory Country Club in Hickory NC. Very good but more oaky then I remember previous bottle to have been, if I had not known this was unoaked I would not have guessed that based on the flavor profile alone. Otherwise agree with previous tasting notes: clear gold color hue with slightly sweet nose and bouquet of ripe melons, citrus fruit and slight honey edge. Very smooth mouth feel w/out significant aftertaste. Flavors were primarily of white peach, some pear and grapefruit with surprisingly clean aftertaste and underlying minerals. Very good NZ chard, will be looking for more bottles, very good QPR. (2822 views) |
| | Tasted by DQuinn on 6/14/2008 & rated 86 points: I found this wine to be very light for my tastes. On the nose, melon and honey dominate with the green melon, mineral, and parsley stem. The wine did open up as it warmed gaining some body and a bit of butter on the tail end. (2895 views) |

| | Tasted by GrandeSerataFuori on 4/22/2008 & rated 85 points: Melon, white grapefruit and muscadine in the intense nose. Intense mouthfeel as well. I prefered the nose as it warmed up, but the taste more when it was well chilled. (1727 views) |
