Alma De Cattleya, Sonoma County (California) Chardonnay 2019

 If I was tasting this wine and was asked to guess its price, I’d put it at about double what’s being asked.  That said, don’t worry – the goal of this label is great wine at reasonable prices, and the goal is once again reached beautifully.  Here is a list of things that will let you understand what I mean about the quality for your dollars:  Old Wente clone, hand picked, neutral oak fermenting and aging, all hand racked.  And flavor?  What you get is nonstop apple, pear, and citrus with hints of vanilla and very soft oak toast.  My crisp and creamy alarm is ringing, and you know that’s a good thing.  A superb value!
