The Federalist Mendocino County Chardonnay 2018 Review
This oaky, extremely American wine is balanced and intense. No nuance here, just good ol’ grippy, creamy, rich Chardonnay. I’m thinking this is the white wine that goes well with BBQ. Slather up some ribs, get that slaw going and watch this bottle work.
