An interesting combination of old-style buttery chard and new, dry acidic chard. Overall, not a complete success -- rather than giving the best of both, this wine seems to give them alternately -- very odd. Flavors were mainly apple and grapefruit, with an understated balance of oak. Anyway, not a bad wine, but I probably wouldn't repurchase.

Darker than average in color. Perhaps slightly oxidized. Nose suggests some oak. May be a tad burnt. Overall, fairly benign and forgettable. Not as refreshing as I had been hoping for on a hot day like today.

I was expecting more from this wine than what was delivered. It had a deep golden color with a greenish tint and the flavors were of tropical fruit but muted and with little finish.

rich mouthfeel with initial nose of melon and tropical fruits...buttery texture with nice oak giving way to vanilla and caramel.
