Tasting note

Winemaker Glenn Hugo places great emphasis on creating terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention. His extensive experience in the restaurant business, prior to becoming a winemaker in 2003, informs his desire to make wines designed specifically to be a part of a culinary experience. This food-friendly Russian River Valley Chard has aromas and flavours of toast, with vanilla and nutty notes along with oodles of ripe fruit. It's the perfect companion for grilled tuna steaks or roast chicken. (VINTAGES panel, June 2014)
