I won at pool, not at poker. This wine epitomizes the style. Perfectly representative of the stereotype.

It's decent but definitely not worth the price. The first over $20 chard I've had and I like a lot of $12 versions better. A bit sharper than I prefer, not into the finish. Won't get again. It's not terrible, it's just not a taste profile I prefer and it's really expensive for what you get imo.

Sure, oak is prominent here, but to me it’s more of a decoy for the lovely fresh stone fruit core and enhances the nuances of cantaloupe, lime, honeysuckle, and light citrus. Acidity is round yet firm, good enough to give the richly textured palate a lift. I usually prefer more saline and mineral, but this is undeniably well made and delicious. And quite elegant.

Rich bouquet, prominent citrus notes and acidity with a long creamy finish. A very drinkable go to white.

Apple, pear and lemon blended seamlessly with a buttery oak creaminess that never ever disappoints. An excellent Chardonnay.
