Buttered toast and apple on the nose. The palate offered a honey, apple and tropical fruit medley. Pair well with chicken or seafood.
Heather Wall rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

A fresh and bright medium weight chardonnay from Sonoma. Asian pear , toasted oak, nutty and butter. Some bitterness on the finish. Perfect for seafood and shellfish.
Tasted: October 2015
Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A California Russian River Chardonnay with a rich nose of tropical pineapple and vanilla. The palate shows buttery butterscotch, tropical pineapple and a hint of citrus. Well-balanced with a medium tropical fruit finish.
Bob Citren reviewed this wine as follows:

Folie à Deux Chardonnay 2013
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County $21.95 (146951) 13.9% alcohol
This American Viticulture Area, a.k.a. AVA, is well known for cooling fog reducing night temperature 30 to 40° F, allowing for longer hang time while retaining good acidity. Floral, green apple and citrus aromas kick off a river of tropical fruit, lemon chiffon pie and toasty oak flavour. It bathes the palate, medium bodied, nicely textured with a balanced, lengthy finish and aftertaste. Pour with roast chicken or turkey. (Vic

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
