Wine Review: This brilliant white gold colored Chardonnay opens with a fruit forward apple like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, vibrant, and crisp with citrus flavors. Notes of tangerines and a touch of minerality peaked through. The finish is dry and very refreshing. This Chard is made for readers who like Chards that express their fruit and are a bit lively. It will make for an enjoyable poolside wine on a hot summer day. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Step away from the barrel! This Chardonnay was fermented in 100% stainless steel and has not seen any oak, nor does it want to. This is crisp, concentrated Chardonnay with all its natural acid. “Naked” exhibits apple, white peach, and pear, finishing long with hints of citrus and mineral. Eat oysters and drink "Naked" often!!
