Wine Review: This white gold colored Chardonnay from Davis Bynum opens with a pineapple and lime bouquet with hints of wet stone, banana, and baking spice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, bright, and very fresh. The flavor profile is Bosc pear and pineapple blend with notes of oak and spice. We also detected hints of lemon-lime and white tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger nicely. We would pair this Chard with a toasted lobster roll. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Our River West Vineyard Chardonnay features enticing aromas of lemon curd, apple pie, and graham cracker, along with flavors of baked golden apple, pie crust and a sweet floral undertone. French and Eastern European barrel aging brings a measure of dusty oak tones and notes of butterscotch, tempered by a balanced acidity. Enjoy this Chardonnay with a variety of salty cheeses, creamy soups or grilled pork chops.
