Hard to say just why this Chard isn't better. It's nicely dry, with decent acidity, good oak and a mineral background to the citrus and peach flavors. There's just a heaviness that keeps the wine from getting airborne. || Bone dry and hard in acidity, this is an austere Chardonnay that lacks richness, and hopes to trade on elegance. It has modest pineapple flavors, touched with smoky oak and lees. Defines a low-alcohol, minerally approach. Drink now.
