Medium gold in colour. Ripe and sweet on the nose, canned pineapple, dried fruit, vanilla, very buttery, honey, heavily oaked (American). On the palate, big sweet oak flavour is dominating. Lack of acidity to hold the wine. Can’t say it’s my style. Good to pair with brie though.
This wine is more acidic than I'd have expected from a Californian Chard (and this is a good thing), the Oak is still a little overpowering in my view, mainly drinking Burg Chards, but not completely out of balance. I'd recommend this for daily drinking

I can't improve upon the notes of CT member JASON WU. I got the same impressions from my tasting and reiterate his notes as if mine. Bravo to Jason.
