Buttery crème brûlée deliciousness. Toasty, vanilla and citrus zest linger on the palate. Enjoy this full-bodied Sonoma Coast Chardonnay with grilled salmon and pineapple kebobs. Tasted March 2018 by @sommsosa.

Tasted Feb. 3, 2018 in Aruba. Colour nice golden yellow, legs medium. Aromas and flavours of baked apple, pear, vanilla. Taste dry, orchard fruit, medium mouthfeel, mouthwatering, buttery. Finishes medium apple, pear. Easy drinking, good value here.
We loved this wine for lunch with open faced sandwiches by the pool. Match with pan fried fish or light seafood pasta dishes in cream sauce.

Layers of creamy, buttery, tropical fragrances and flavours wash over your tongue as you savour this luscious Sonoma Chardonnay. Satiny smooth with rich, lingering finish. A winner for those who love a big, buttery California -style Chard.

The climate of the Sonoma Coast is perfect for a long growing season allowing the grapes to develop fabulously complex flavors of apple, toast and oak on the nose, and bosc pear, peach and floral on the palate. The finish is long with a well balanced acidity.

Nice, ripe, good example of Sonoma Chardonnay. Moderate alcohol and partial malolactic style. That essentially means they allow the wine to partially go through a phase of maturation that generally more reds go through than whites. It involves the conversion of malic acid (which tastes like green apples) into lactic acid (which is soft and smooth). This one still has a lot of fruit, which is commendable.
Nice medium lemon colour and the aromatics marry together barrel notes and Chardonnay's typical nature - yellow plum, apple, lemon, vanilla, smoke.
The palate has some nice acidity to keep it fresh. More lemon, apple, nectarine, honey, and smoke. Some flake pastry contributed by the lees it was aged on.
Solid wine for lobster, but would equally go well with roast chicken.

La Crema Chardonnay 2015, Sonoma Coast, California, United States: Sonoma Coast vineyards enjoy a long, cool growing season due to the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean, and its fogs and winds that blow inland. This is perfect for slowly ripening grapes to develop complex flavours and nuances without lots of sugar that translates to heavy alcohol. Classic Californian Chardonnay with toast, oak and green apple on the nose. Full-bodied, and generously layered. Generous flavours of pear and peach on the palate with a long, dry finish and a hint of wild white flowers in a spring rain. Perfect for roast chicken or mild curries.
