Varietal: Chardonnay
Region: California
Cost: $8.99 – $9.99
Mirassou Chardonnay offers a crisp first sip, thanks to being aged in stainless steel. Hints of oak add a bit of robustness to this wine, and it finishes rather roughly. Pair this wine with chicken or light pasta.
Recommendation: The rough finish of this wine will be a turn off for most. While the price is appealing, there are better steel chardonnays for a comparable cost that finish cleaner and won’t nearly give you a bitter-beer face. Pass on this offering from Mirassou.
