Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

I have been a big Sonoma-Cutrer fan but this is good but pricey as I would reach for other Chards at that price point. Sir-lie aging for 10 months in French oak, pale lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate apple, peach & melon with lime citrus zest, spice and toasty caramel notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice lively acidity, ending with spice, fruit, citrus and mineral character.
