Franciscan Estate
Monterey Napa County Chardonnay
Napa County, North Coast, California, USA
A nice Oaky chardonnay from Napa. Very typical. Not fully balanced but that's what I expected.
Showing lemons, citrus, yellow apples, melons, pears, bitter herbs and spices.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Needs to be very chilled.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.

Nice crispy boi chard with a bit of popcorn. Chuggable if that’s your jam - mine is apricot or marmalade.

Creamy and smells of butter (#malolactation!). Light bodied, slightly bitter at the front, with floral and white peach notes. Definitely not offensive, but not my favorite.
