La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2017 Review
The nose shows aromas of peach, pear and pineapple with a sweet-citrus hint of acacia. The palate is creamy and lean, with notes of vanilla and french butter (not movie butter). These aromas are not individual and sort of mesh together a bit haphazardly, but this is a solid Tuesday night wine for cheese plates and your significant other’s vinyl collection on blast.
