Nice quaffer with honey and apricot scents mingling with some vanilla. Pretty basic finish and nothing is too out of place here. Relative value for those that are into value Chards (I'm not).

Medium clear gold color. Full nose of spice, apricots, honey, bananas, tropical notes. Medium to full bodied, with a solid palate of vanilla oak, honey, apples and pears. Slightly syrupy mid-palate, but then it firms up into a balanced wine on the finish. The finish is the best part-- honey and pears linger quite awhile, full flavored without being too cloying Not particularly complex, "commercial" in quality, but a pretty nice wine.

Great for the price. Better acid balance than the Acacia and less expensive
