Hogue Chardonnay 2017

The 2017 Chardonnay reveals juicy apple and pear on the nose with lemon meringue pie, creamy vanilla oak, and toast. A rich, well-balanced palate follows with flavors of fresh apple pie, lemon curd, and cream. Pair this fruit-driven, food-friendly wine with salmon-stuffed crab cakes, grilled lemon chicken, and fettuccini alfredo.

The wine offers spicy and rich aromas of nutmeg, pear, pineapple, and creamy butterscotch. On the palate, the wine is complex and balanced, with vanilla cream, toast, and fresh, crisp apple. An excellent match for crab salad, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or quiche.
