Fess Parker Chardonnay 2011
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe regular Fess Parker Chardonnay comes off a mix of vineyards and some 84 percent is aged in oak (30 percent new) the remainder is stainless steel. The style is trimmed down Santa Barbara with a new emphasis on a tropical citrus spice aroma and taste pattern with less oak and sweet fruit heft and more freshness - green apple, melon and honey with creamy textures. Crab cakes, roasted chicken, brie and seafood pasta all work here.Tasted: 28 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $28.00 | 750ml | |
