Country: USA

Critic Review:
Displaying rich flavors of baked apple and pear, layered with toasted oak, this Chardonnay exhibits notes of caramel and brown spice with a smooth, lingering finish.

My Review: I wanted another smooth, creamy, and buttery chardonnay and luckily I got one. I could smell the butter, some apples, and a hint of caramel with a simple swirl. The first sip greeted me with some apple notes, a ton of butter, and a nice creamy finish. The caramel flavor came out more with later sips, and by the end the caramel was super prevalent with the creamy finish. After reading the label and reviews, I'm picking up on what must be the "toasted oak" flavor. It is perfect without food.
