Review date: October 15, 2006

Wine Review: This chardonnay was very aromatic on the nose. On the palate it was full of vanilla flavor and oak. It was a bit on the heavy side, so it calls for rich food or could stand on its own. A true California Chard!! Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This wine is very fragrant in the nose, (peach, pear, pineapple, with light toastiness) supple and long on the palate, with a crisp, lingering finish. Enjoy with fried calamari, scallops with a curry sauce, crab cakes, filet of sole with almonds, corn chowder, macaroni and cheese, or turkey panini.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Chardonnay.
