Very good, easy to drink on its own, but would certainly hold up to a variety of foods ... would be quite good with fish. On the nose - initial strong notes of apricot and possibly pineapple, more subtle notes of green apple, peach, and purple grape. On the palette - quite fruity, relatively long finish. Maybe a bit of fig taste. Comes across as sweet but in further thought is rather off dry. Creamy in the mouth. Strong mandarin flavor. — 7 years ago
Lemon, Gravel, Pineapple, Yogurt on the nose. It’s off dry. Medium bodied and acidic up front but mellowing on the end. Coconut and citrus on the pallet. Really great wine at a great value. — 7 years ago
Purchased during a recent visit to Hawaii and it survived the flight back to AZ. Very fragrant- a solid punch in the sniffer of pineapple sweetness. Brings back awesome memories of a fantastic vacation. Can't say I'd drink it regularly but it definitely a fun treat. — 8 years ago
Such a wonderful surprise...
Explosive nose of honeysuckle and pineapple.
The palette has a distinct Viognier signature, which is extravagant. My close French friend questioned if this chard was blended with Viognier? Who cares, it's just stand-out. Excellent balance of acidity, texture and delicate sweetness. One of the best white wines we have tasted.
A gift from my good friend Santa @Martin G Rivard. We will not forget this. Thank you! — 9 years ago

Smooth, pear, pineapple....wonderful citrus finish. 2012 vintage, great bottle of wine — 10 years ago
Quite a debate about is this skunky, and if it is, how do you define it. To me, it was definitely a bit sulphuric with some burnt popcorn. Fruit is fairly subdued throughout...more grilled buttered pineapple and cashew. Out of the two, this definitely appeals to the French crowd. Thanks for the intro to this @Benjamin Keator ! — 7 years ago
A really beautiful New World Chardonnay. Initial notes of golden apple and a touch of pineapple. Balanced acidity and oakiness come through as lemon curd and vanilla. — 9 years ago

2013 vintage. Nose of lemon zest, citrus blossom, pineapple. Beautiful balanced Chard. Lemon, gingered poached pear, canary melon, white sage. Just enough oak. 14.2% ABV. — 7 years ago
Not too sweet and tastes just like pineapples! Pairs great with poke or Thai food. I was really shocked by how much I liked this wine and I’m not normally a sweet white wine drinker. — 7 years ago
From a 2012 successful harvest this “Chardo” is no exception of a classical Napa Valley showcase. Opened at 55 degrees for inviting botanical, and subtlety toasted aromas. Mouthfeel incredibly light no oak for instance… bwell balanced for that peach, pineapple, and all that ripe baked fruit like that fruit tartars from that famous French Bakery. Ten years later it does stand to be drinkable now, not later than 2023

Dark golden bordering Carmel. Seductive nose. Ginger root, organic honey, and toasted almond. The oxidation is in a great spot. Medium weight with dried apricot and pineapple. Acidity carries on the finish. In a wonderful place, drink or hold. — 6 years ago
