Beautiful bright yellow color with golden color on the edge. Nice nose of green apple with baking soda. Fragrance of tangerine, pineapple, salty butter, and lightly cured bacons. Taste of sweetness with well balanced and round acidity, lime zest, salty and buttery, fresh green apple, sprites, and mouthful. Aftertaste of bittersweet zest, some flowering notes, and green apple. Very refreshing and enjoyable. The only missing link is the shortness on the aftertaste. But this certainly doesn't affect the overall experience of this nice bottle. — 8 years ago

Straw with stone fruit aromas and sweet toasty spice. On the palate crisp green apple, pear and peach fruit flavors with waft of vanilla spice. This wine is medium-bodied, with nice buttery mouthfeel, smooth & creamy. Medium+ finish balanced with lively acidity and fruit adding toasty ending. Consistent quality. — 5 years ago

Though it didn't have the usual buttery oakiness I've come to expect from Mer Soleil Chardonnay, I was thrilled to taste such rich fruitiness. Silver comes bottled in a "cement" bottle to remind us that it was aged in small concrete tanks from France. This allows, like oak, a trace of oxygen to seep in which helps to enhance the flavor. Very bright fresh fruit characters. It was opened at our home in Bensalem during a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with 2 other couples. — 10 years ago

Family-owned and operated since 1985. Grapes sourced from several Napa Valley Carneros vineyards, aromas of ripe fruits & sweet spice with smoke notes. On the palate complex fruit, apple, pear & peach with cinnamon and vanilla spices giving way to toasty oak. Lots of French oak aging, perhaps too much. Big buttery oak finish ending a bit bold, about on par with the 2014 vintage (last reserve I tried). For $10+ less, their Alexander Valley Chard from a cooler climate showed more finesse, one of my Fav’s. — 5 years ago
