Broadside
Wild Ferment Central Coast Chardonnay
Typical tropical notes. Pear and guava, ripe Melon. Big acidity, no oak bursting with tropical fruit on a medium body. Surprisingly long finish.

Pineapple and pear flavors come through, with a hint of apricot. The fruit profile is quite interesting, and an earthy salinity adds complexity. The acidity is nice, but not overwhelming. It's not a fat Chardonnay, but it's not too lean, either.

Almost a KJ replica except that it wasn't as over Oaked and didn't have that smothered butter you'd expect with these California chardonnays. Great price, solid wine.

Jan 27th, 2017Slightly funky, wild fermented chardonnay from the central coast. Just around $20 too. 2013 vintage.

Mar 11th, 2014I really like this. I'm seeing reviews saying funky and I agree with that... But it's not a bad funk at all. Definitely good fruit but also lots of butter and a great aftertaste. Not alcohol tasting, it's a rare one that's good in the mouth and leaves a great finish. I can't remember where I got this... Either WinCo or Costco or maybe total wine... I need to find it again though, it's really good.
