VC review: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. Clean, bright color with a greenish-yellow tone. On the nose, exotic fruits like pineapple. Full flavored, fresh, with good acidity in the mouth, it finishes with tropical fruits.
My notes: I forgot to ask, but I would venture to say this chard is unoaked because of the freshness and fruitiness. The nose showed mango and apple and the wine was very clean with a nice mouthfeel. My hatred of chardonnays at the beginning of the year was definitely unfounded. I think I just don't like super oaked chardonnays.
Food: n/a
