That golden apple and ripe cantaloupe on the palate makes it feel like summer in a glass, but the toasted hazelnut finish keeps it grounded and sophisticated. I grabbed a case after the first sip.

The nose is all floral and citrus, but the real star is that toasted hazelnut note that lingers after each sip. Balanced between rich and racy, with golden apple and quince giving it a clean finish.

Poured a glass last night and that toasted hazelnut on the nose really comes through—pairs beautifully with the ripe cantaloupe finish. It’s rich but still bright, exactly what I want from an Anderson Valley chard.
