Critic Review: Winery Direct
A rich Chardonnay that is full of honey, butter and melon on the palate. Notes of vanilla, caramel and white flowers add layers of complexity to create a perfect balance of flavor.
My Review: I know what they mean by buttery now. This wine is so smooth and easy to drink. Somehow this is my first "oakey" chardonnay, and I love it. It was creamy and smooth and clearly buttery. There was an element that I had trouble describing but I'm relating to melons after reading what Total Wine had out to accompany the wine. I could also sense some of the honey and caramel, but they did not make the wine too sweet. I would wager to say the wine is relatively balanced, because nothing stood out to me as being too much. The wine is rich and easy to drink without food, which is how I enjoyed it. It was great slightly chilled and in double walled wine tumblers in a hot tub.
