Tasting Notes

"Tropical flavors - pineapple, mango and papaya with a creamy lush rich palate. Notes of cinnamon, candied lime and vanilla creme brulee create an appealing and lingering sensation." - Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

93 Points/Editor's Choice - "Just might be the best $25 Chard out there. Gorgeous, dramatic and opulent, with a creamy texture and ripe tropical fruit, smoky oak and vanilla flavors. There's a long, honeyed, buttercreamy finish." Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, July 2008

93 Points - "Sophisticated, rich, elegant and packed full of floral, pineapple, citrus, buttery fruit, with flecks of orange and spice. Fresh toasted bread mixes with a creamy mid-palate and a long smouldering finish." Anthony Gismondi, Wine Access, April 2008

92 Points - "A stunning Chardonnay with light gold color and a gorgeous nose of honeyed tropical fruits intermixed with hints of hazelnut and subtle oak. The wine is fleshy, rich, pure, and a total delight to drink."
