Wine Review: This clear and medium gold colored Chardonnay from Domaine Anderson opens with a warm buttered Italian bread and Barlett pear bouquet with hints of almond and dried herbs. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, edgy, and a little sassy. The flavor profile is a slightly tart lime and honey blend with notes of chamomile and Anjou pear. We also detected hints of almond, ginger, light oak, and a dash of white pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger nicely. We would pair this Chard with a brown trout baked in a white wine-capers sauce. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Aromas of fresh lime and crunchy pear are lifted by delicate notes of sun-dried lemongrass with a subtle touch of toasty oak. The palate is creamy and rich, yet finely balanced and expansive. Flavors of hazelnut and lime intertwine with a salty, mineral edge, carrying through to a bright lemony finish. Pairs beautifully with whole lobster with butter, or roasted lemon chicken.
