Winery Review: A buttery style, this bottling offers popcorn, sea salt caramel and vanilla cookies on the nose alongside tropical coconut, ripe peach and banana fruit, all judiciously presented. There's an immediate sizzle of acidity to cut through the butter on the palate, where pan-fried apples, squeezed lemons and almonds make for an excellent California Chardonnay.
My Review: This wine smelled like movie theater popcorn - very buttery. The taste was incredible. The acidity helped cut down on the buttered popcorn initial taste I got, and hints of citrus, oddly, mostly lime, and a touch of toasted nuts at the end left me craving more of this wine.
I did not taste this wine with food.
