Very smooth
Huh! Well, I'm not personally getting the citrus of other recent reviewers, but that's the nature of wine appreciation.
Anyhoooo, this release is among the best Chard offerings I've tasted from CH...Arroyo Sec Chard and the Chablis being different but in the same relevant range.
Don't over-chill this wine, otherwise, you'll miss the boat on the wonderful qualities this wine has to give. (If chilled in a refrigerator, let stand for 30 mins.)

Perfect warm-weather drinking
Grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas. Buttery mouthfeel. Peaches, apples, and melon flavors. This is what I'm looking for in a Chard - worth buying by the case.

Smooth, buttery Chard
Pours a pale yellow, with citrus/grass aromas and flavors of pears and apples. So smooth and delicious - this is my go-to Chard at CHW (unless they get more of that awesome Arroyo Seco stuff).

Great Buttery Chardonnay
We love this chardonnay. It tastes like a chardonnay that should cost a whole lot more. Very memorable on the palate. Bold and delicious. Please keep on producing this type of Chardonnay.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Rich and oak/buttery notes on the palate. Faint bitterness on the finish. Would buy again.
