November 15, 2019 - Insanely complex Chardonnay from FJ! Nose is bright and clean. Carries the oak you would expect from a Cali Chard but has an interesting undertone of toffee or caramel.
Smooth on the palate with crisp fruit, just enough malo to get that creamy buttery taste, but the caramel notes hit just right to bring an added dynamic to this wine. If you have a few bottles, I think it would be interesting to age a few to see how these caramel notes develop over a few more years!
Color: Pale Yellow, Bright
N: Yellow Apple, tropical fruit (I get pineapple), vanilla and oak, and caramel/toffee/butterscotch like aromas
P: Apple, Tropical fruit, warm vanilla, creme brulee, butter. Medium plus body, medium plus alcohol, soft mouthfeel
F: Medium plus length of tropical fruit, warm vanilla, and butter.549 views
