Combining scents of sweet fresh apples, lemons and pineapples with a hint of nuts and sweet cream, this Chard shows off some pretty deft oak treatment. Dry and full bodied with refreshing apple flavors, clean minerality and a brisk, lemon acidity, its a well-balanced wine that provides easy drinking.

Fresh apples, spring blossoms and yogurt scents make for a deliciously tempting nose. On the palate, it’s dry and full bodied, with a good concentration of that fresh apple flavor. The alcohol feels just a tad high, but the acidity is balanced and the finish long with a warm, nutty tone.

Though the nose is a bit simple, there’s some good plum and blueberry tones in the mouth. The crisp palate shows almost no tannin and winds down to a medium-length, berry-flavored finish. Try with veal chops. Drink up.

Savory in style with scents of bruised apples and a hint of earth, this dry, full-bodied Chard is completely unoaked, giving it a stark, steely character that’s amplified by its brisk acidity.

There are some beguiling notes of grilled meat, blackberry and spices on the nose, but in the mouth, this wine has a one-dimensional feel to it. The fruit and oak come together in a nice balance, and there's structure, too, but it's somewhat innocuous. Would pair well with dry sausage or cheeses.

A nose of papaya, white fruit, and lemon verbena is pleasant, while the mouthfeel has nice balance, smooth and round without being fat. Has cantaloupe and tropical fruit in the mouth, then finishes with a pithy note.

Though a bit sulfury at first, some nice aromas of grilled vegetables come through, followed by cedar chips and dragon fruit. It’s fairly one-dimensional in the mouth, though nicely structured, with ripe acidity and gentle tannins. Short, dried-cherry finish. Try with grilled flank steak. Drink now.

This crisp, dry white is on the watery side and the candy aromas are a bit less than refreshing. Short, lemony finish. Drink up.

The wine’s barrel aging comes through immediately, with its toasted nut and vanilla nose. On the palate, the wine is balanced—with its citrus fruit, spice and touch of flowers. Elegant and easy to love—a good use of oak.

Tropical fruits, flowers and citrus lead this appetizing Chardonnay from Peconic. On the palate, the wine has some depth, with lemon/grapefruit citrus, pear and apple. A good everyday white.
