Wine Review: This very yellow colored Chardonnay opens with mild pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and round. The flavor profile is a gentle pear with hints of apple and light oak, apricot towards the end. The finish is dry and pleasant. This Chardonnay is very enjoyable and a crowd pleaser. Serve it cool, not cold for the maximum benefits. Pair it with chicken cordon bleu for maximum pleasure. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2010 Josh Cellars North Coast Chardonnay offers aromas of ripe white peaches, pineapple, and delicate notes of honeysuckle and white rose petals. Stone fruits and Fiji apple add to the palette, finishing long with bright flavors of grapefruit and lime. Careful winemaking creates a creamy texture with a full, lush body and a luscious finish.
