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.

Mar 11th, 2014Loved it! Really evolved in the glass. Just a little. Funky but in a good way. Not your typical Chardonnay

Jan 6th, 2018Pear and guava on the nose and palate. Acidic but short (not sharp and lasting). Earthy. Balanced. Would price at $12-15.

Jun 7th, 2017Very nice, medium bodied Chard. Well balanced; bright but not overwhelming acidity as well as a touch of creaminess. Tropical fruit flavors. I actually enjoyed it more after it had warmed up a bit... The flavors deepened and got more delicious.
