Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay has tons of flavour! Aromas of pear, apricot, golden apple and lemon zest. Full bodied, smooth and creamy with vibrant acidity and ripe fruit on the palate. Enjoy with rich seafood dishes, such as seared scallops.
Fess Parker 2018 Chardonnay is produced from wine grapes sourced from Santa Barbara County. Love the lemon pudding and tropical fruit aromas wafting out of the glass at first sniff. This is a dry, mouth-filling, poised Chardonnay with tropical fruit, citrus zest, fine herb flavours silky smooth on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
