The Prisoner Wine Co 'The Snitch' Chardonnay 2017 Review
This wine is a head spinner, so if you are into big, boozy Chards, this is for you. The nose leads with pineapple spiked with moonshine followed by aloe vibes and a hint of coconut. On the palate all this carries over dominated by the high alcohol that's slightly balanced, but not quite, by some good acidity. It’s the finish that will get you though. It seems to soak into your palate and stay for a while. This wine is not about balance or pairing with food but sitting around, sipping, talking smack and get'n loose for a cool $29.
