Fruit forward with only a slight tinge of butter, this Monterey Chard tastes of Gala apples and pears and refreshing white grapes in the finish. Try it with poultry dishes!

Golden hue. Medium to high body. Smooth. Smoky, buttery. Maybe vanilla

Somewhat harsh. An unpleasant butteriness. One dimensional.

Not bad, but I just cannot justify a score higher than 7. It's a pleasant wine with nothing outstanding about it.

Medium to low body. Nice buttery taste with a long finish that turns slightly musty.

Perfectly drinkable chard. Light, not particularly complex but still enjoyable. Like most things Coppola, it's a good drink for the money.
