Wine Review: This light white gold colored Chardonnay from Domaine Anderson opens with a shy honeydew melon and banana bouquet with hints of faint oak and pineapple. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, clean and fresh. The flavor profile is a mild honeydew melon and vanilla blend with notes of banana and green apple. We also detected hints of herbal tea, lemon verbena and quince. The finish is dry, and its flavors and pleasant acidity linger and last for a while. We would pair this Chard with baked halibut with a crab stuffing. Enjoy - Ken & Joe

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of tangerine peel and grilled peaches with hints of lime. The palate has crisp, focused acidity with Meyer lemon flavors and baked apples. The wine has depth, energy and balance completed with a long and refreshing finish. Pairs beautifully with grilled cod, whole lobster with butter, roasted lemon chicken, pasta with béchamel sauce, asparagus risotto, and various goat cheeses.
