Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2018 Review
This is a truly brilliant American Chardonnay. It has so much balance that if you want to know what balance in wine is, buy this wine. Everything in this wine is in harmony. The subtle depth is balanced by the bracing acidity. The alcohol is perfect, not intruding on the aromas, which smell like freshly picked honeysuckle, sweet Meyer lemons and a quiet whiff of vanilla bean. If you want to know how America makes Chardonnay, this is the bottle to try.
