La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2016
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, United StatesMonterey's cooler climate brings this Cali chard some brightness, with cool, silky lemon, French cream, green apple, tropical melon, butter, along a spiced, medium bodied core. The fruit goes into French oak (17 percent new) for fermentation (partial MLF) and seven months with monthly battonage. A weightier, forward style, but one showing some restraint.Tasted: 30 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $34.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
