Savory on the nose and palate with notes of cooked apples, pears and spice, Silver Thread’s Chardonnay is subdued in style but easy going for everyday enjoyment. A dry, medium bodied wine with a squirt of lemony acidity that brightens the mid-palate. ——A.I.(4/1/2011)—— 84

Fresh, crisp minerality—a quality that can take a good wine to great heights in the right proportion—seems to hinder this wine. The lack of fruit and oak balance feels tart and thin.——S.K.(4/1/2008)—— 82
