CREAMERY Chardonnay 2022
It is harvested from several famous vineyards, including Monterey, Paso Robles, Clarksburg, and others.
As the name suggests, the wine is very creamy and has an attractive buttery aroma with toasty notes. The wine is rich with warm oak aromas along with classic aromas of tropical fruits and pears. The palate is luscious with crème brûlée and buttered toast, and finishes with a fresh acidity.
