Awesome Chard. Balanced, complex, much more Burgundian in style than some Napa/Sonoma counterparts. Much more light pineapple, green apple skin on this one.

Straw yellow in color. Green apple, lemon, and white citrus on the nose. Lean and energetic in style with tangy acidity, neutral oak, and no discernible malolactic fermentation.
