Avalon Chardonnay 2014

Avalon Chardonnay receives mixed reviews with some praising its charming oak and butter notes, while others appreciate its peppery finish and substantial legs. The wine is noted for its passion fruit and mandarin flavors, with a touch of oak and lemon sweetness. It's described as easy to drink and worth trying, though opinions on its complexity vary.

This Avalon Chardonnay presents a luminous straw hue, immediately inviting with its bouquet of ripe pear, white peach, and a whisper of honeysuckle. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious blend of creamy texture and vibrant acidity, underscored by notes of lemon curd and subtle almond. The oak integration is deft, imparting a gentle vanilla and spice complexity without overshadowing the fruit purity. The finish is elongated and refreshing, marked by a mineral edge that speaks to its coastal origins. A commendable expression of New World Chardonnay, balancing opulence with finesse.
