Freemark Abbey Chardonnay 2018 Review
If you are into the rich, tart style of Chard, then this is for you. If not, then this wine is like a finger-in-the-socket. It’s intense and grippy with sweet sweet woody vibes and a smack of vanilla. It’s under $30 thought, so it can be a great gift for a gracious host who digs on the heavy.
