I do like an unoaked Chardonnay. Though zesty it has traces of minerals, not too much fruit, went well with salmon and scallops. Pretty nice Charles Wagner wine.

Tasty, straight-up, unpretentious California chardonnay

Friday night and tonight's wine is a gift from a family member the 2015 Mer Soleil Unoaked Chadonnay from Monterey County California.

On the nose there is lemon meringue, apricot, pear, jackfruit, jasmine and lemon balm.

On the palate there is lemon zest, lemon, pear, honeysuckle, spice, minerality, a bit of saline and wet flint rock.

This wine is medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel with medium + acidity that moves right into a long clean citrus finish. Have a great weekend and please be safe and stay healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂

Clear straw color, peach and lemons on the nose. Crips and as a Chardonnay should be - not hiding behind oak and butter.

We love the unoaked chards...

Very exotic nose of pineapples, melons and freshly pressed linen. The palette is extravagant with melons and citrus oil. It has a heavy mouthfeel and finishes taught. Great value for money...

We loved this. Bright, cheerful, steely and zesty chard. The Wagners have breathed life back into this after the 2k11 and 2k12 vintages, which frankly returned the "404" error (page not found).

I don't usually like unoaked because I love butter/creamy but this was pretty good! Maybe not good enough to choose above a nice creamy oaked chardonnay but not too bad!
