Citrus, apple and subtle mineral tones. Toasty apple and pear fruit on the palate, with hints of butter and vanilla. Very nice.

BIG......................Cali Chard with a ton of fruit and buttery oak. This is a great cocktail Chard, but a bit much for most food. Enjoy!!!

Unlike the regular chard which makes you pay for the pleasure, the reserve is a tasty relaxing pleasure from sip to sip

Nice big chardonnay with a mouth filling feel and buttery smooth. Underlying citrus with a hint of papaya and glycerin. Nicely integrated oak. Nearly as good as Kistler and Kongsgaard to my taste but may be preferred by a different palate.

Big Chardonnay, with lots of butter and toast on the nose, but with plenty of underlying citrus fruit, a little pear, and maybe even some rich papaya notes back there, too. The oak is bringing some very nice spice notes, as well. Very long delicious finish. Needs at least a few months for the oak to integrate, then it could be a 94-pt. wine.
