Trim Chardonnay 2021
California, United StatesYou don't see Ray Signorello's name on this label, but his Napa team is responsible for this Russian River chardonnay, one of only two wines made under the Trim label. The Trim wines are made without additives. They don't add sugar, concentrate, colouring, or anything else that shouldn't be there, and now that information is on the back label. Signorello says, "We believe in winemaking, not winefaking, and we are transparent about this." Trim Chardonnay opens with an apple, honey, white flower nose streaked tropical fruit and citrus. The attack is inviting but with an underlying acidity that offsets the creamy texture and the pear, vanilla, and apple butter. A wine that will brighten any lunch, this is a Next California chardonnay you can serve with food. As for the "ingredients," here is the list: grapes, yeast, malolactic bacteria, potassium metabisulphite, natural oak, and tannins. The calories are 128 per 148 ml, and there is zero sugar.Tasted: 28 January 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
