McManis Estate Grown Chardonnay 2017 Review
Everything about this wine is legit and on point. Is it complex? Not really, but I don’t care. It’s a great, vibrant, fun, sustain-ably farmed Chardonnay with ripe pear fruit and a dose of vanilla and nutmeg. And it’s wrapped up in bright acidity and alcohol under 14% so you won’t feel like taking a nap after every sip. It’s a $10 bottle of wine and can be a serious workhorse in your fridge for when guests pop by. It will hit all the palate preferences.
