Rodney Strong Chardonnay 2014

Sonoma County, California, United StatesRipe, rich, sweeter and full on the creamy palate, this is what most folks think of with modern, commercial, Cali chardonnay. With 60 percent barrel fermented and aged in oak for six months and the remainder is cold fermented in stainless steel, this is wood-evident, with tinned white asparagus, dense lemon curd, pear butter and baked apple. There's a swing of acidity here, counter balanced against the rich, ripe fruit. The short, warm, vanilla-kissed finish welcomes pairing with creamy pasta dishes or theatre-style popcorn.Tasted: 20 July 2017Tasted by: Prices:
