* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With a richly sweet, honeyed finish, this partially barrel-fermented wine has ripe flavors of citrus fruits, figs and smoky vanilla. The acidity is high, which gives it a clean, bright mouthfeel.

High in acidity, this bone dry Chard has a brisk, mouthwatering quality. It offers ripe flavors of pineapples, Key lime pie, kiwi fruit and minerals. Easy to find, with 380,000 cases produced.

The opening is bright and lemony, deepening to ripe tropical fruit and peach flavors with an underlying base of butterscotch and coconut. It all comes together on the finish, which is balanced and utterly delicious.

A ripe, concentrated style, blending citrus aromas and flavors with tropical fruit ones; also has nice buttery, peachy notes. Balanced, creamy and frankly delicious, with high acidity.

A lovely, dry Chardonnay that balances richness with acidity, making it food-friendly. Shows pineapple, pear and smoky vanilla flavors, balanced with crispness. Drinks well now.

Comes across on the earthy, herbal side, although there are some pretty raspberry notes on the palate. A little heavy, and lacks perhaps some delicacy. A sweet cola-like finish completes the picture.

This is the kind of Pinot that you can drink everyday without flinching at the price. It’s representative of the coast, a light-bodied but full-flavored wine with tremendous cherry fruit, cola, spice and oak, and a dry finish.

Full-bodied and oaky, this Chard delivers an action-packed punch of flavor. The peaches, pears, pineapples, vanilla custard and smoky vanilla are so rich, they finish like honey. But the wine is actually dry.

Shows a degree of complexity that’s rare in an Edna Valley Pinot, where fruit and acidity are easy, but layers of depth are hard. You’ll find upfront cola, cherry, licorice, persimmon and smoky oak flavors, with deeper notes of sautéed wild mushrooms and sweet mulch. Should age well for six to eight years.

Soft and fruity, with easy flavors of blackberries, blueberries, oak, chocolate, anise and pepper. Pretty good for the price.
