  Positives: I am always surprised to drink an inexpensive Chard from the Central Coast and when it”s labeled “barrel fermented” and not be drinking an oak drink with some flavor. This is not a complex wine by any stretch of the imagination, but what does have is good quality. You’ll find medium buttery toasted oak, lemon candy, quince apples with a nice mineral finish. Medium body with good acidity and a fairly long length.
  Negatives: None
  Drink now on its own or pair it with a cheese plate.
