I am not a big Cali Chard girl, usually I cannot find the balance between the fruit, the alcohol and the oak. This wine won me over though. Tasted at a tasting group for class and I could barely spit this one out.
Beautiful golden colour. The nose was all butterscotch and vanilla. There was some heat but for the most part I felt the alcohol was well intrigrated. Vanilla, pineapple, butterscotch pudding are the descriptors I walked away with.
A changing moment for me with Cali chards!
