A good value for an organic Chardonnay. Opens with a nose of citrus, lemon zest with notes of vanilla. Flavors of citrus, tangy pineapple, crisp green apples and tropicals with hints of banana are highlighted with enough zippy acidity to pair well with lighter fare.
Winemaker Mike Lee left this world too soon. He left us however, with this wonderful Sauvignon Blanc from Patti Fetzer’s Patianna Estate. Made from organic grapes, using only stainless steel and no malolactic fermentation, the wine is crisp but still has an enticing soft and round mouth-feel. The nose offers aromas of melon, citrus and a hint of wet stone and crème. Flavors of ripe grilled pineapple, melon, minerality, white stone fruit and honeysuckle combined with balanced acidity and creaminess creates a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with summer fare.
This lightly oaked Sauvignon Blanc by Crosby Roamann opens with a nose of herbal citrus which gives way to a crisp yet soft mouth-feel with flavors of pear, vanilla, flinty minerality, and Meyer lemon with a bit of zippy acidity. It paired well with broiled scallops. This wine needs to approach room temp before all the flavors come into play.
A nose of ripe pineapple with hints of toasty oak. Richer and rounder than many Sauv. Blancs, this wine from Lava Cap Winery coats the palate with flavors of pineapple creme, melon, toasty oak and baking spice with just a hint of crisp acidity…somewhat chardonnay-esque.
A medium-bodied Chardonnay offering up a nose of apple pie and baking spices. A fairly round mouth-feel with flavors of apple pie, baking spices, ripe red apple, roasted pineapple, lime, and tropicals with well-balanced acidity.
