  Decent Cali Chard that compares favorably with similarly priced Chardonnay from France and better than most similarly priced Chardonnay from Cali. It's sweeter and fatter but still has lots of acidity and minerality. Beautifull gold color, lots of apples and spicy vanilla on the nose. Very tropical on the palate but also flavors of citrus, apple and vanilla. But there's a definite "cheap white wine" quality about it, too . .some awkwardness and heat. I will certainly buy this again.

  It ain't Chablis, but it's in the ballpark: crisp, bracing, apples, pedigree, with some heft in the mid-palate; drink up, but no immediate rush

  This was the second chard of the night, and it is hard to forget the beautiful golden color of this wine. This was more of less the sixth time I have tasted this and it keeps getting better.

  Pale gold in color with aromas of wild apples and vanilla. Medium bodied with moderate acidity. Flavors are big on green peaches leaving no room for much of anything else but a few straggling tropicals. The finish is a little bracing with acidity and alcohol with little fruit. It's a simple wine without much personality.
  
  A second tasting 4 months later reveals the same story: A decent wine, full body with defined acidity. Tropicals and green apple with stone fruit. It has the signature of an average wine with the high acidity and lack of body. Acidity is the key focus here.
