Niner Wine Estates Chardonnay 2018 Review

This is oaky Cali Chard with harmony. If you dig that rich vanilla and butter style of this grape, then this is your bottle. But the difference here is that all those intense characteristics are kept in absolute check by crazy vibrant acidity. It’s a great bottle for a light afternoon lunch with some homemade chicken salad sandwiches and a cheese plate, or even a sunset get together with roasted chicken and some grilled veggies sprinkled with sea salt and some cumin.
