Wine Review: This Chard is a brilliant yellow color. It opens with a light lemon and light oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium balanced, balanced, and a little crispy. The flavor profile is an oak influenced lemon with a hint of apple. The finish is dry and a bit tingly. We would pair this Chard with pasta smothered in a white clam sauce. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: In the glass, this Chardonnay displays a clear, deep yellow hue with notable brilliance. Creamy lemon meringue dominates a particularly complex nose; look for an appealing mélange of aromas that include light vanilla, toasted nut, baked golden delicious apple, butter toffee and citrus-laced brioche. The creamy lemon pie quality continues on the palate, juxtaposed by light spice notes and a flinty, mineral impression. The Wente Clone is best known for its texture, density and weight giving this wine a rich, mouth filling presence on a long, lingering finish.
