I'M Wines Isabel Mondavi Chardonnay 2017 Review
This wine is exactly what it was intended to be. It’s simple, yet a little bit complex, has good acidity and a decent 13.8% alcohol and is closed with a screw cap. Bright apple and lime notes mingle with fun ripe pineapple and guava aromas with a floral tinge of acacia. The mouth feel is broad and clean, with added aromas of flint and sweet wood. The acidity is firm and the texture is smooth. It’s not a very complex wine but damn if isn’t awesome for day drinking and brunch dates.
