Stags' Leap Winery Chardonnay 2016 Review
This wine tastes a lot more expensive than it is - its $25 price tag being relatively reasonable for Napa Chardonnay. The nose delivers a flood of ripe green apples and peaches, with a hint of movie popcorn. It's not particularly buttery or oaky, but lush enough to please people who like big chardonnays and restrained enough to please people who don’t.
