Wine Review: This light yellow colored Chard opens with a lemon custard bouquet with a hint of oak in the background. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, well balanced, and appealing. The flavor profile is a gentle lemon with a touch of green apple and lime in the background. The finish is dry and very appealing. This is why they make and sell 2 million cases per year. Pair it with garlic roasted chicken and enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This Chardonnay bursts with tropical flavors such as mango, papaya and pineapple with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of green apple and pear to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak rounds out the long lingering finish. — Randy Ullom, Winemaster
