Oceano Chardonnay 2017 Review
The vines that are used to make this wine are very close to the ocean, and you definitely get that in the wine. The nose and palate have a distinct briney vibe going on. The oak it pretty intense and fighting with the briney acidity for your attention, and it almost wins with the vanilla and butter aromas on this wine all up your face. All that said, it is still well balanced, and a nice wine to share at sunset; especially if you like the more upfront flavor profile.
