Pan-fried butter and hazelnuts, pineapple and BBQ-lemon notes dominate the classic nose, all echoed by similar flavors where the blocked ML drive the citrus-infused finish.

Classic style with enough stuffing to age a few years. Slightly bitter finish.

Aroma of pears, honeysuckle and spice, with flavors of pears, tropical fruit, vanilla, spice, and butter. Acidity was pretty soft, despite the label saying no malolactic fermentation. There was a little flinty minerality at first, but not a lot. I would have liked more minerality , but overall this was a pleasing wine.

Good chard from Napa, love that it has no malolactic fermentation. Little too oaky for my liking but for the $ this is a great white.

Medium acid, medium-bodied, a lot fruity, lit bit lemon and oak. Decent!
