Crisp and creamy bells ringing. That’s my hallmark for good Chardonnay, one where a creamy midpalate with lively fruit finishes with crisp acidity that keeps the flavors coming. Pear, apple, mild vanilla and a little lemon crème get a nice oak accent, and the finish keeps pumping flavor. Made by winemaker Theresa Heredia.
