Friday Walk Around Tasting at Sam's Fine Wine & Spirits, Lexington, SC 11/3/2017 (Sam's Fine Wines & Spirits, Lexington, SC): I am not as exuberant about this wine as others. This 2014 has been around for a while and is starting to show it’s age. The color is very golden for a Chardonnay. Seems to have some barrel fermentation and time in new oak. Has a ripe cornucopia of orchard and citrus fruit with vanilla and ginger. Still shows some malic acid. Only slightly more than medium bodied. Woody mid palate. Ok but not terribly exciting.

Delicious, light golden color. Apple on the nose. Crisp flavors of subtle tropical fruit with just a hint of butter. Amazing value.
