Planeta Chardonnay Menfi DOC 2018 Review
If you like oaky California Chardonnay, you will love this wine. It has all of the oak, vanilla and butter feels with a dollop of fresh banana, but more acidity than most Cali Chards giving it a bit more balance. This is one of the great, fuller bodied wines made from this grape and is worth the price. You get the depth with refreshment to boot.
