Nice golden hue with aromas of tropical fruit, lemon, green melon and apple.
Palate--Citrusy front, vanilla, tropical fruit salad and nice structure with decent acidic foundation.
This Simi *sourced creation was $20 but I got it for $10 and it is lovely.
*"Sourced means rather than the fruit coming from a specific area or parcel or vineyard, the grapes were "sourced" from-- in this case-- California which must be shown on the label which it is. It is the lowest level of wine so it tends to be very inexpensive and generally a lower quality. In this case however, this is a very fine crafted Chard presenting with a quality well above what you would expect. If I had paid the $20 list for it I would not have been disappointed which is kind of crazy for a "sourced" wine. But Simi has produced a value wine that keeps you coming back for more. So whether you find it for $20--shout "YES!" or $10--shout OH YEAH! Raise a glass!
