Nickel & Nickel Truchard, Chardonnay, Carneros, California, United States 2021

Description

93 pts Wilfred Wong.

This wine shows the classic style of Carneros Chardonnay. Aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and citrus expand in the mouth, while underlying vanilla and spice from the oak add richness and intensity. Hints of mineral and fig add layering to the full, creamy palate.

Winemaker Tasting Notes: 

Inviting citrus blossom and melon aromas entice the nose and open onto a palate filled with full flavors of pear, melon, and green apple. Creamy and silky on the palate, subtle toasted oak frames the wine while vibrant acidity lifts and carries the fruit into a finish that is mouthwatering and long.
