Murphy-Goode Chardonnay 2018

California, United StatesI like this quietly cool coastal California nose that plays to cooler notes of lemons, green apple, and peach, with only a hint of honeysuckle that points you to the Golden State. Murphy Goode is under the purvey of Jackson Family Wines, so there has been a subtle leaning in style, perhaps so subtle you may have missed it. The flavours are lively with citrus, caramel, clove, and butter, but nothing is too overpowering. It’s a mid-weight introductory-style chardonnay that is all it can be for the price in Canada. A happy balance of sweet fruit and citrus zest is the key to everyone wanting to finish the bottle.Tasted: 11 November 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
