Walnut Crest Chardonnay 2018 Review
To get a bottle priced under $10 through our three tiered system and on the shelves isn’t hard but doing it with quality wine? Impossible. Walnut Crest is the second largest wine brand imported to the US from Chile and this Chardonnay is great! Under screw cap, for your absolute convenience, the wine is balanced with notes of apple and mineral-driven wet flint rock playing with some pineapple drizzled with lime oil and flitted with white flower petals (acacia, orange blossom, jasmine). The palate is creamy, rich and round without the heaviness of too much alcohol or oak. Guys! Go buy a bunch of this wine and have a huge party!
