Wine Review: This yellow colored Chard opens with a shy bouquet. However on the palate this wine reveals a tasty flavor profile of light mineral infused lemon custard with notes of toasted oak. It is also nicely balanced and full bodied. The finish is dry and very enjoyable. This Chard would pair well with one of my favorite dishes, Chicken St. Timothy. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: "At 1,800 feet and with a south-west exposure, this site sees sun nearly all day long, yet the Pacific breezes and gravel soils promote a distinct focus and minerality in the grapes from this block. Seismic activity literally creates the "Broken Road," after which this vineyard is named, so it is fitting that the wine's characteristic minerality speaks to the earth below which influences it." - Graham Weerts, Winemaker
