2010 Chatom Vineyards Chardonnay, Calaveras County, CA , $18 (S) – Rating 92
This sumptuous Chardonnay from Chatom Vineyards opens with a soft nose of baked apples. A round mouth-feel with flavors of ripe apple and pear that give way to flavors of apple pie, cinnamon, ripe citrus and tropical fruits with finishing notes of vanilla Crème Brûlée. 80% stainless steel fermentation creates nice acidity to balance the rich flavors.
Chatom Vineyards Chardonnay is a favorite in our family. We are East Coast folks, and while the shelves are full of California Chardonnays, we choose to have our Chardonnay shipped in from Chatom direct, so you know it must be good! Cheers!
