Veritas Saddleback Chardonnay 2018 Review
Look, it’s a pain in the ass to order wine online, I know. But this bottle is worth your time. Virginia is emerging as one of our best wine producing regions, and this wine is a great example of that. Impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity, there is a creamy depth on the palate with a mineral driven nose. You may get whiffs of fresh cut pear and wet rocks after a rainstorm. It’s under screw cap and versatile AF. Picnics with chicken salad sandwiches and avocado salad? Lobster rolls on the beach? Netflix and chill? This wine has got you covered.
