    A showy but crisp and fresh style of Chard, this offers honey butter, ripe apple flesh, yellow roses, lemongrass and the slightest show of guava tropicality on the nose. The sip begins with that tropical guava and mango character, then tightens on mandarin orange and lemon rind.

    Shows the upfront fruit and oak of the popular style of Chardonnay, but earns extra points for dryness, acidity, creaminess and minerality. The fruit veers toward delicious pineapples. Drink now with rich shellfish, Ahi tuna, lobster risotto.
