Saddleback 2012 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Saddleback / Napa Valley

This Chard did not go through malolactic fermentation, allowing the acidity to stand up to what otherwise would be an overripe wine. It’s strong in tropical fruits, peaches, brown sugar, vanilla bean and buttered toast flavors that are soft, direct and one-dimensional.
