Wine Review: This clear and medium gold colored Chardonnay from Amici opens with a pear and pineapple bouquet with hints of banana, almond, vanilla, and brioche. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, and dense. The flavor profile is an oak influenced pear and banana blend with notes of vanilla and pineapple. We also detected hints of French toast, almond, butter, and white peach. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger and last for quite some time. We would pair this Chard with a chilled crab cocktail, or broiled scallops drizzled with butter. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The Amici Windsor Ridge Chardonnay is a rich and refreshing wine sourced from vineyards on the rolling hillsides on the eastern edge of Russian River Valley. Aromas of marzipan, brown sugar, and delicate honeysuckle. The palate is expansive and luxurious, revealing layers of roasted hazelnut, banana cream pie, and crème brûlée. This classic California Chardonnay offers a rich, mouth-filling texture and a lingering, decadent finish.
