Natalie's Score: 88/100

Love this Niagara Chardonnay: voluptuous but balanced. Like you in your jeans. Chardonnay that is the liquid version of worn-in jeans. Comfy, familiar, just right. Almost full-bodied, this tongue-loving, caressing white wine will be perfect tonight when you kick back with some buttered popcorn and an old movie.

Chardonnay food pairings: pan fired scallops, spinach and pepper jack stuffed chicken, toasted ravioli served with Alfredo sauce.

Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This wine was so buttery on the nose I thought it was a California chard at first! But the overpowering butteriness all but dissipates on the full-bodied palate, leaving clean flavours of lemon, pineapple, baking spice and orange blossom. Perfect for roast chicken dishes or pesto.
Full-bodied with so much going for it. On the nose this gold Chardonnay is baked apple dumpling, pear compote, fresh pastry and lemon. On the palate, acidity is well-balanced, with generous cooked apple, pear fruit, lemon pudding, toasted vanilla, sweet spice and smoke. Wow! Finishes long and very elegant. A must-have Chardonnay. Enjoy. - Community Wine Reviews
