Nathan K. Chardonnay 2021 Review
Nathan Kendall made wine across the country and around the world before coming home to the Finger Lakes. He applied what he learned from working in renowned cool-climate regions to his eponymous label, making elegant and balanced wines that show a sense of place. This Chardonnay is a great example of how this variety can thrive in the Finger Lakes. It has a mineral-driven nose with soft, pithy fruit. The palate has a creamy texture and bright acidity.
