Surf Swim California Chardonnay

I’m not a big Chardonnay drinker unless it’s unoaked but this is excellent! Lots of citrus, which I like, and not too much floral. Might have to take this to the beach this summer! 🥂🌞🌊

Tried it out cause of the label and it was 50% off at Safeway. It's from Napa so I expected more of a oak or butter taste. It has neither. It's a easy Chardonnay with a meal or something but not something I would crave to have. Also the write up on the back is very strange. Hard to understand what they are telling you the wine should taste like.

Clear straw yellow color.  Aromas of stone fruits. The palate shows gritty fruit, overly spicy and too acidic.  Has a short finish. Out of balance. Pass.

Medium + body, very fruit forward Chardonnay with a hint of oak but not overwhelming in the slightest! The most prominent fruits are very tropical such as banana, pineapple, lemon, and grapefruit but there are also warm buttery note to the wine as well. The light oak on the wine is great and for someone who typically doesn’t drink Chardonnay this was a very refreshing and soft wine.

We thought it was a bit bitter but it's also a tad strong (13.5%) so we got it down, deeming the alcohol percentage worth the taste. We also drank it warm, which I never enjoy.

Tropical, pineapple, mango, stale orange juice, mild pastry crust.

Good. 13.5%

Just awful

Dry and the perfect amount of sweet. Slightly buttery

V13. Chilled wine was pretty good. Creme brûlée bouquet, buttery honey dew melon fruit. At room temp wine went way south, weird metallic bitter finish.
