Wine Expert Note:

This Talley Vineyards Estate Chardonnay is an opulent and vibrant white wine that presents an array of ripe fruit flavors. On the nose, there are aromas of ripe apple, pear and white peach, complemented by subtle notes of tropical fruits and creamy oak. On the palate, the wine is creamy and weighty, with a juicy mid-palate of tropical and stone fruits, and a long, lingering finish. The vibrant acidity and minerality of this Chardonnay ensures it will pair well with a variety of seafood dishes, while its complex fruit and oak flavors make it enjoyable on its own. An excellent expression of cool-climate Chardonnay.
