Au Bon Climat Chardonnay Santa Barbara 2016 |
Winery: Au Bon Climat
Grapes: Chardonnay
Region: Santa Barbara County
Regional styles: Californian Chardonnay
Food pairing: Pork · Rich fish (salmon, tuna etc) · Vegetarian · Poultry
Buttered popcorn pineapple mango banana and candied citrus rind with hints of smoke and mineral on a complex forward but not OTT nose. Firm on the palate, whisky barrel mineral citrus and banana peel frame the full bodied but food friendly juice. Bridges old and new world. Extra half point for value.
Good Chardonnay. I would definitely buy again when wanting a nice bottle of white. Well balanced, buttery but not too much so. Flavor matches the price. Ginger, green apple, melon. I like it, good acidity and not too much oak.
Gorgeous wine. So structured but still with the "big Chardonnay" thing I love about California
