Wine Review: This clear and white gold colored Chardonnay from Kobler opens with a honeydew melon and mild pineapple bouquet with hints of oak, brioche, and vanilla. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, slightly viscous, and lush. The flavor profile is an almond and buttered Bosc pear blend with notes of coconut milk and gentle oak. We also detected hints of tangerine, honey, and ginger. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity fade away nicely. We would pair this Chard with crab ravioli in a cream sauce or with chicken alfredo. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The 2024 Bacigalupi Vineyards Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley opens with enticing aromas of citrus peel, orange blossom, and crisp green apple. Layers of beeswax and sweet vanilla weave seamlessly through the bouquet, adding richness and depth to this expressive wine. On the palate, it is silky and beautifully textured, this medium-plus bodied Chardonnay delivers flavors of ripe green apple, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes balanced by a generous touch of vanilla. Its vibrant acidity and refined structure lead to a lingering, polished finish, while its pale hue hints at the wine’s elegance and finesse.
