California Chardonnay 2021
Buttery, banana, coconut, even tropical some might say. Super round. See the “U” on the label? It’s round like the bottoms of that “U”. — 2 months ago
Chateau Montelena
Napa Valley Chardonnay 2019
I suppose there is no better place to start than with a fresh example of the wine that changed the game forever. This remains a very classic example of Napa Chardonnay in the most complimentary of ways. Ample fruit that lean on the more tropical (pineapple) side but falls short of being squishy. Lemon and lime citrus too. The oak is prominent for sure but it’s not a buttery mess. There’s good acid that gives plenty of lift and it finishes long. A very balanced wine that will probably benefit from 5+ years in the cellar. — 3 months ago
