Prayers of Saints Chardonnay 2017 Review
Chateau Ste. Michelle has a way with achieving balance on a large, affordable production level that is unique to the U.S. wine market. This wine is a good example. A wine made with a smirk and a wink saying: hey, I’m here for the fun stuff not the contemplative stuff. Mineral-driven crisp green apple flies around the glass with added subtle notes of cannabis and lemon rind. The palate is a nice perception of dryness while still maintaining depth, pronouncing aromas of wet flint rock. Washing down tacos with this at the beach seems the perfect lunch situation.
