This is an easy, soft Chard, with suggestions of peaches and tropical fruits. There’s quite a bit of oak, which adds vanilla and buttered toast.

As always, a nice, easy-drinking Chard with plenty of Central Coast character. The cool, long hangtime has given very ripe fruit, while preserving vital acidity. The winemaker brings a deft touch of oak.

Elegant rather than powerful, this Chard has tropical fruit, apricot and oak flavors wrapped into a creamy texture. It turns sweet and spicy, like vanilla custard, on the finish.

Ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit is tinged with vanilla oak. A straightforward, easy-drinking wine, best paired with burgers or other simple fare.

Plenty of tart black-cherry fruit is matched with cinnamon and toast in this thoroughly enjoyable Pinot that shows hints of superripe fruit. Offers good depth in a straightforward, easy-drinking style.

Very Chard-like in its citrus, pear and tropical-fruit aromas. Bright and pretty with its creamy texture and sweet, ripe citrus flavors. Also very oaky, with toasty, spicy, vanilla notes. Clean and tasty, this is a crowd-pleaser. Best Buy.

Lots to like in this pretty, easy drinking, spicy wine. Plenty of citrus fruit; clean and supple. Has a nice acid bite, which should make it a natural with food.

Has strong floral, peach, citrus and wildflower scents. A nice, easy-drinking wine, with pronounced citrus and peach flavors. Drinks dry and clean.

Really a first-rate wine, packed with juicy blackberry, cherry and herb flavors, but it’s no mere fruit bomb. There’s a firm backbone of gritty tannins and a nice slash of acidity and oak to provide nuance and balance. Will be versatile at the table.

A little coarse, with scoury tannins and sweet jammy raspberry and cherry fruit. Good for everyday, but not much going on.
