Butter bomb. $20 Rombauer clone. Tough to drink more than a glass with all that lacto.

Tonight's wine is the 2014 Custard Sonoma Valley Chardonnay.
On the nose there are notes of pineapple, papaya, pear, mandarin orange, coconut, almond and vanilla.
On the palate we are getting lemon, pineapple, vanilla bean, caramelized sugar and a touch of butter.
There is sharp tingly acidity with a creamy mouth feel. All the way through you get that crisp clean long finish.
Very nice for the price. Very quaffable!
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Love the nose on this! Wish it had more acid to help balance the sweetness. Overall got better as it warmed up.

Jun 23rd, 2016Golden and leggy, with a stellar nose of lemon custard and creme brûlée, delivered with loads of energizing mineral and a balancing note of perfect tropical blossom.
If the palate was austere and crisp, this would be a grand slam. But significant residual sugar and only faint acid give a sickly sweet first impression. As it warms up the acid lingers and speaks better, and 5-star dessert-y richness on the finish gradually won me over, but I still remember that first flabby sip. Oak bomb lovers will love this, flexible palates will find SO MUCH to enjoy, but I think most first impressions will write this solid wine off immediately. Don't drink with food. Let it warm up for 15 minutes, and sip on its own after dinner.
