Fresh apples, spring blossoms and yogurt scents make for a deliciously tempting nose. On the palate, it’s dry and full bodied, with a good concentration of that fresh apple flavor. The alcohol feels just a tad high, but the acidity is balanced and the finish long with a warm, nutty tone.——A.I.(7/1/2011)—— 85

Combining scents of sweet fresh apples, lemons and pineapples with a hint of nuts and sweet cream, this Chard shows off some pretty deft oak treatment. Dry and full bodied with refreshing apple flavors, clean minerality and a brisk, lemon acidity, its a well-balanced wine that provides easy drinking.——A.I.(7/1/2011)—— 85

The wine’s barrel aging comes through immediately, with its toasted nut and vanilla nose. On the palate, the wine is balanced—with its citrus fruit, spice and touch of flowers. Elegant and easy to love—a good use of oak.——S.K.(2/1/2010)—— 85

Light and fresh, with smoky overtones to the citrus and melon aromas. Flavors favor smoky buttered corn, then bright, lemony acids take over on the finish.——J.C.(3/1/2006)—— 83
