Oberon Chardonnay 2018 Review
For $20 you get a very balanced chardonnay that will not knee you in the head with tons of oak and alcohol, but instead bring you in with the embrace of soft earthy aromas that will remind you of peaches and concrete after a rainstorm. It is a great wine to gift and help drink, as well as good bottle to impress the parents. They’ll love the old school vibes of just enough oak, and you’ll dig the new school vibes of mineral driven fruit. Welcome to a new go-to.
