Sometimes, you just want a refreshing wine that tastes good, without thinking about every sip. Cloudbreak Chard is perfect for those times.
Since it's barrel fermented, there is a nice bit of oak, but it's not overwhelming, and is balanced well by the fruit and creaminess. Not overly complex, but very pleasant.
I first discovered this wine in a blind tasting, where it beat out Kendall Jackson, La Crema, and Muirwood's single vineyard. I was surprised when I found out that this was the one I liked best, as it is by far the least expensive, being only $8.
If you're looking for a lighter bodied Chard with a nice bit of oakiness and creaminess, or especially if you're a KJ or La Crema fan, this one is worth giving a try.
Recommended.
