Tried this again. Golden yellow color with tropical fruit aromas and oily spice. The palate shows basic stone fruits with citrus tang. The wine had too much oak and out of balance. The finish leaves quickly. Pass, better Chards out there at comparable prices. Tasting Sample.

Tons of Malo in the nose and ultra ripe fruit, surprisingly balanced with acidity.
Well worth the $20 price point

Poor recommendation by the sales guy at Total Wine, but fun time with some of the team at Painting with a Twist! Doesn't pair well with Thai food either :)

Slight oak and yellow apple on the nose. Great citrus, pineapple, oily spice, chalk to butter finish. Very pleasant butterscotch after taste. Acids are little too high.

One of the worst wines I've ever tasted. I should know better than to take advice from #totalwineandmore "experts"

"Old School" Cali chard that's big and full of flavor. Think of it as your cocktail wine.
