From the bottle:
Rich on the palate with bright fruit and delectable brioche flavors. Perfectly balanced with hints of toasted almonds & spice.
Pairs well with shellfish, salmon, chicken, linguini alfredo, aged cheeses & roasted vegetables. Best serve chilled.

The 2020 Exquisite Collection Chardonnay begins with a pleasing aroma of citrus, lemon cream, a bit of a buttery note and a touch of spice.
The medium-bodied wine tastes smooth and features tart fruit similar to the nose. The little bit of an oaky, buttery note we noted on the nose also continues in the mouth. There's really nothing revolutionary here but it's well made and easy to drink.
Some oaky spice notes lead into the long, dry finish that also features a lasting note of butterscotch.
