Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
Bright deep gold. Inviting nose of yellow tropical fruit and butterscotch. Echoed on the full-bodied palate with medium acidity and oaky banana with a touch of white pepper and anise on the moderate finish. Carneros Chardonnay isn’t meant to be complex; it’s big and bold and bomb-y. This is no exception. At its best with rich New World dishes like pot pie or southern pork roast. Drink now through 2022.

A nice Napa Chardonnay. Showing limes, lemons, Citrus, light Peach, vanilla, oak, grapefruits and spices. Not very complex, though.
Medium plus in body. Nice and engaging.
Nice finish, but I expected more complexity at this price level.
Might get better in the next 2 years.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
87 Points.
$40.
