Edna Valley Vineyard Chardonnay 2017 Review
This wine will ebb and flow on your palate like the tide, or should I say warm and cool like the region it was made in. It has a nice tug of war going on where the deeper, richer characteristics are constantly being pulled back from the brink of being too much. Crisp apple teases the edges of lemon curd and pineapple on the nose. The palate is creamy and crisp at the same time, with earthy notes of dried fig and peach tapping honeydew melon on the shoulder. This wine is great if your looking to please a crowd.
