Wine Review: This white gold colored Chardonnay from Duckhorn opens with a pineapple, vanilla, and oak bouquet with a hint of mango. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and approachable. The flavor profile is an Anjou pear, pineapple, and chalky minerality blend with notes of saline and oak. I also detected a hint of honeydew melon mixed in. The finish is dry and nicely refreshing for a Chardonnay. This Chard would pair nicely with chicken francese. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This tantalizing Chardonnay begins with alluring aromas of lemon cream, orange blossom, Key lime, and candied pineapple. On the palate, a lush, silky mouthfeel and energetic acidity frame lively orchard-fruit flavors of pear and white peach, with hints of brioche emerging on the long, focused finish.
