Varietal: Chardonnay
Region: California – Sonoma County – USA
Cost: $14
Aromas of stone fruit with flavors of pear and sweet melon with a clean finish. Â Pair with seafood or chicken.
Recommendations: Having set long enough in my wine fridge since coming back from California with my wife and I, this bottle of Chardonnay was finally opened this week to pair with a meal of ricotta and herb stuffed chicken.
A nice, slightly buttery flavor (thanks to 5 months in French and American oak), was a great final note to the flavors of pear and sweet melon. Â That being said, even with the time in oak, the wine still exhibits a very clean, crisp finish after the buttery notes.
A great wine to pair with well-seasoned white meat or seafood, this is a great everyday white wine that’s good for just about any occasion and is priced for it as well. Â A great one to pick up for dinner for two or a dinner party for a dozen people.
