Cellar No. 8 Chardonnay 2015

Cellar No. 8 Chardonnay 2015

Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of nuts and apples roasting in a cast iron skillet with a bright, fruity medium body and a easy pineapple custard, praline, and poached apple finish with soft tannins and light oak. A solid everyday chardonnay sipper.

Chardonnay is arguably the world’s most famous white variety, thanks to its success in France’s Burgundy region as well as throughout much of California. Chardonnay on its own has rather straightforward, pleasant aromas of apple and pear, but when aged (and sometimes fermented) in small oak barrels, the wines take on extra richness as well as notes of toasted almond, vanilla and yeast.
