• 2008 Bjornstad Chardonnay 89 Points

  USA, California, Sonoma County

  Light yellow color and a bit cloudy owing to the fact it's unfiltered and unfined with citrus, and butter aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, and well balanced with nervy acidity and lemon, stone fruit and vanilla spice flavors. Medium + finish. 14.2% alcohol
