2019 Creamery Chardonnay, California

With a name like The Creamery, it should come as no surprise that this is a deliciously full-bodied, lusciously rich Chardonnay. It’s also seen some serious action on the competition circuit in years past, scooping up ‘Best in Class’ trophies and golds galore. You can expect all that award-winning chutzpah (and then some) in this new release. Light barrel aging (combined with the secondary, malolactic fermentation) imparts the creamy-smooth texture for which it’s named and adds hints of honey, toast, and vanilla biscuit to the vibrant peach and Meyer lemon flavors.
