I need to look in my notes to find the Chard. I believe it may have
been the Simi Reserve. It was from California, not overly buttery. Not
as sharp? as a French unoaked, though it wasn't dominated by vanilla.
Quite crisp with a very pronounced nose of mainly apple, granny smith or
similar green/yellow apple. Very slight biscuit/toast note in the nose
but not detectable on the palate. Bold flavor though, more than I come
to expect from a white.
Funny thing, most notes on this chard indicate peach, though I didn't
detect any.
