$18, 3 stars, 88 points, california, central coast, chardonnay
We are in Lake Placid for an ice skating competition so when I saw this branded wine I had to pick it up. Made from Californian Central Coast Chardonnay -I was expecting what I tasted. Medium lemon colored with medium viscosity (13% ABV). The nose shows some butter, a little cream, a touch of pear and green apple- obviously MLF derived. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body and that buttery diacetyl taste associated with malolactic fermentation. The pear and apple fruit is round and warm with some baking spices and carries through to a medium length finish. The label says that this line is exclusively available in New York. At $18 this 88 point wine gets three stars. Drink till 2025. Salut….
