Wine Review: This pale gold colored Chardonnay opens with a white peach bouquet with hints of pineapple, mango, lemon, and lychee. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with gentle muted acidity. The mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. The flavor profile is an oak influenced pineapple and pear blend with notes of apricot. We also detected hints of green apple and vanilla. The finish is dry and subtly drifts away. The Panel drink this Chard in the near term and would pair it with butter-poached lobster, Nashville hot shrimp over cheesy corn grits, or with a butter crumb covered baked haddock. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2019 Chardonnay radiates a beautiful gold color in your glass. The nose opens with notes of lemon peel and slate minerality then transforms into subtle aromas of green apple and brown pear. On the palate you are greeted by a rich and creamy texture and flavors of caramelized brown sugar and baking spices. Lychee and butterscotch notes come through on the back palate, and it all comes home with a round silky finish.
