Line 39 California Chardonnay

This wine has a golden tint in the glass. The nose offers much fruit, such as citrus, apple, and apricot notes. The palate is soft and creamy, with acidity fresh, but not as racy as I remember it. The fruit flavors stand out still. I have cooked with thus wine before, but this time it helped a tomatillo guacamole go down nicely.

This wine was purchased for cooking, and as the saying goes, sometimes I even get it in the food. Well, it is quite dry, although a tad oaky. I was in the mood for it, so it didn't bother me at all. I used it in a sauce for a creamy lemon butter pasta dish. It worked just fine, and tasted great, too. In fact, every Line 39 wine I have had has been good.

This pale straw-colored wine smells sweet from fruit and oak. There are notes of citrus, apple and pear on the nose, along with a distinct floral component. On the palate, fruit again leads the way. Oak spice plays an important role, although it is not overdone. Acidity is quite fresh and the finish is long and pleasant. This wine will pair very well with a buttery pasta dish or shellfish.

Pale lemon color with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of melon, grapefruit and apple flavors with grassy notes wrapped in tangy acidity. Medium finish ending with a mineral citrus spice character. Ok value. Tasting Sample!

Loads of sweet vanilla on the palate and nose, balanced with baking spices and ripe stone fruits.

Surprisingly bright and tropical for a Cali chard. Lighter body and slightly mineraly. Very pleasant

Not too dry. Full bodied. In Las Vegas at Hard Rock for a private event.

I like this. Apple and peach and butter cream on the finish. I'd get it again
