A very nice expression of Russian River chard. The fruit is the star, but supported by mild acidity and a nice oak signature that carries into the long finish.

The Russian River fruit shines. The french oak comes through on the nose and continues through. Its obvious, but not heavy handed. The long fresh fruit finish is rounded out by a little creaminess. Tasty stuff.

Crisp, fresh, and delicious. Apples with a hint of butterscotch.
