Nose: White fruit, tons of pear and yellow apple, tropical fruit with toasty undertones.
Palate; Very good. Beth's fav Chard in a long time. Full-bodied, with great acidity and steely minerality, yet tons of that fruit in the nose and creamy undertones, as if there's a bit of ML, extended lees and barrel fermentation, but not enough to get rid of great natural acidity. Wonderful.
