Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Chard did not last long. It opens with a very fragrant apricot and pineapple bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, well balanced, very creamy and elegant. The flavor profile is a tasty apple with a hint of vanilla and light oak. The finish is dry, a touch hot, yet caressing. This Chard would pair well with chicken cordon bleu. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: "This Chardonnay from Columbia Crest's Estate vineyards presents aromas of apples, pears and slight flint with nuances of cinnamon, toast, coconut and vanilla. Ripe fruit flavors are enhanced by a hint of butter and creaminess on the palate followed by a perfectly balanced, long, lingering finish."
