We only keep a few Chardonnay's in the cellar of our house, a couple from the Finger Lakes region and one from CA. To me, the variety is not as food friendly as Riesling, or as enjoyable sipped on by itself. But I keep trying Chards from different regions of the world, it's fun to learn about these areas.
This wine has a nice light shade of yellow, with subtle pear, apple, and spice notes in the nose. The palate reflects the nose, the pear, apple, melon, and spice flavors are balanced by just right acidity and linger nicely on the finish. It also has a slightly creamy feel in the mouth, a nicely made wine.
On the second day the flavors were nicely integrated, and very pleasant to sip on.... definite notes of pear, apple and spice in the nose.
My wife thought she would like it with an oven roasted chicken dinner, I think it would also be good with grilled lime/garlic shrimp, or grilled lobster tail with a garlic herb butter melted over it. I'm sure there are other pairings for this as well.
Available on sale at NH Liquor outlets for $11.99 thru the end of January, 2018.
Enjoy, cheers!
