White

Tom DiNardo

This California wine features a pleasing golden straw hue, and aromas of citrus, vanilla, toasted oak and herbs complete the nose of this chardonnay. The palette offers satisfying flavors of tart citrus, granny smith apple, and herb. The wine’s finish goes on and on. This chardonnay is not your typical “heavily oaked butter bomb”, but is truly a delightful wine and a terrific bargain for the price. This wine is a great accompaniment when paired with seared scallops and broccoli with cheddar sauce. Buon Appetito
