A wonderful example of estate grown chardonnay from the Alexander Valley. The 2013 vintage was clear yellow gold in the glass. The nose upon pouring was predominately honeysuckle and white peach with other floral notes also present. The medium bodied mouthfeel revealed flavors of pear, apple, straw, honey and wet stone that was complemented by a vibrant, bright and balanced texture, leading to a pleasing, medium length finish. The oak expression in this wine was subdued, so this was not a butter bomb. An excellent, well made wine!

A nice chard with notes of citrus and pineapple with good acidity and barely perceptible oak. Nice long finish. Paired very nicely with grilled talipia with lemon-basil-caper vinaigrette. Good value.

Has a very nice golden yellow color. Aromas of pineapple, banana, mango and hazelnut. This is a full blown Cali chard with flavors of pineapple, lemon custard, vanilla and hazelnut. Ends with a nut infused 20-25 second finish. A very nice wine for the price point.
