Matanzas Creek Winery
Journey Sonoma County Chardonnay
Sonoma County, California, USA
Chardonnay isn't typically what I go for when it comes to white, but this one might have changed me forever. It's very buttery with deep golden raisin flavor right after corking which gives such an elegant, warm vibe. But after 30min-1hr it mellows down to beautiful medium bodied fruits and flowers like edelweiss, pear, golden apples, and pineapple.

More oak influence than I would typically prefer but bot so much to drown out the tropical fruit flavors.

Rich but subtle buttery aromas. Full bodied chardonnay. Lots of oak and vanilla notes with just enough butter to fill it out. Bright, lingering acidity balanced by deep minerality and a touch of bitter almond. Long, bright, lingering finish.
