Cannonball Wines
California Chardonnay
California, USA
This wine is actually California Chardonnay, made from grapes sourced in Monterey and Mendocino counties as well as Sonoma. The nose shows apricot and lemon pie, with a healthy dollop of oak spice. The oak comes through on the palate as well, in the form of some of the nicest “butter” I have tasted in a Chardonnay. Meyer lemon, pear and cantaloupe flavors also turn up. The acidity is quite nice and fresh, and the mouthfeel is full and rich.

I really liked this a lot upon opening - complex, smooth creamy finish, not too alcohol forward, some fruit but not sour fruit. I thought it would be even better the second day, but actually it's not quite as good the second day. That said, I really like it and I believe it was a good price. Would buy again (bought at central market).

A nice, well balanced Chard - fun label portends the flavor as some classic citrus, vanilla and oak flavor marriage come down the aisle of your palette. Well priced and a good, structured glass from start to finish...cheers!
