La Crema Chardonnay 2017
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesLots of ripeness here and a bit of a backslide for those of us who prefer a crisper version of Sonoma fruit. Tropical pineapple fruit marks the nose and palate with orange flecks and plenty of creamy, vanilla flavours that soften the finish and leaves it just a bit too sweet for modern food and wine lovers. Still, there is a market for this style just not here in BC where we have decidedly moved in a brighter, fresher direction in the finish.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.99 | 750ml | BCLS and VIWF |
