Cardwell Hill prices its wines below many comparable bottles, but this Pommard may be the best value of all. Already approaching maturity, it's eminently drinkable, loaded with ripe fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry preserves. The sweet baking spices compound the impression of a wine made for immediate enjoyment.

Fruit-forward and appealing, with delicate cherry and orange peel accents that glide lithely on a snappy finish. Drink now through 2023. 205 cases made.
