Lots of color for such a young wine. Very rich in feel and flavor with a touch of a bit on the back end. Toasty lemon flavored palate. A cleaner finish would help this step up a bit but still pretty good for $9.

This showed a lot more color than last time. Also came off a bit buttery and possibly premoxed. Not quite as fresh as the first bottle and more like one that has been around a few years. Ripe apricots and a touch of minerals on the nose with the fruit feeling ripe on the palate being a bit bitter at the edges. Still nice but not as clean and balanced as the previous bottle. Held relatively the same over a few days.

I'm liking this better on the 3rd day as the richness has relaxed and let the fruit express itself as well as making the palate more even from start to finish. The heat that I noticed the first couple days has calmed down a bit also. Nice example of fresh Chard that won't floor you with its expression or complexity but is a nice daily dinner companion.

13.5% alc. Clear, light yellow color. The pure nose displays clean spring water, white flowers, and minerals. This is like drinking clean, minerally spring water mixed with the juice from granny smith apples and touched with a kiss of vanilla. If one were looking for a definition of a refreshing wine, this would be it. A medium-bodied wine with refreshing acidity and a moderate finish. Overall, a textbook example of what chardonnay can aspire to be.

Good acidity, decent fruit, a not in your face chard that is easy to drink, is balanced and was quite good with food. Killer QPr
