Monthly Wine Group: Domestic Cabs and Blends (Bloomington Chop House, Bloomington, MN): Drank 2 oz glass over 15 minutes. This was interesting, didn't know what it was til after. Was surprised by the amount of oak and butteriness when revealed as Verdejo. Certainly drank as a Cali chard, mellowed significantly in glass. Good orchard fruits, round and dense on the palate with some lift. Nice finish.

Blind tasted, which was just too hard. Light nose of orange zest, white flowers, slate. Oak on the palette with moderate plus acidity, apple, stone peach, vanilla, butter. I guessed Sonoma Chard. Other guesses were Riesling and Chard.

Warm summer night one year later. Still going strong, blending oaked chard character with bright, expressive verdejo. Great with an ecletic, multi-ingredient salad. Would repurchase if I see it again.

very nice wine. Lead pencil and soft vanilla and cream aromas. More acid on the palate too than the previous two wines.
