Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - Too much buttery oak, but partly redeemed by the ripe orchard fruit and oily floral character of this wine. Nice acidity, too, and an expressive nose. I would not buy more of these at $19, but I'm not a big fan of New World Chardonnay, so I don't know... I guess this is OK. Paired well with a rich roasted salmon.

I buy CA Chardonnay on occasion, but rarely from Monterrey and never before from Bernadus. It's an ok wine. I just wasn't thrilled with it.
