Wine Review: This light-yellow colored Chardonnay from Chappellet opens with light oak and pineapple bouquet with hints of lemon, banana, and bee’s wax. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied, balanced, round and on the rich side. This flavor profile is an oak infused pineapple and green apple with notes of butter cream. We also detected hints of nectarine and macadamia nuts. The finish is dry and drifts away nicely. The Panel would pair this Chard with lobster with drawn butter. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2019 growing season produced a stunning expression of Sangiacomo Chardonnay, with enticing aromas of guava, Meyer lemon and white peach, as well as French oak-inspired hints of vanilla, nutmeg, and clove. On the palate, this wine is rich and round, with a creamy mouthfeel and toned acidity adding depth and energy to the vibrant citrus, nectarine, and passionfruit flavors.
