Alexander Valley Vineyards Chardonnay 2016

Robert Parker, Jr.s Wine Advocate: The 2016 Chardonnay Estate is scented of lemon curd, grapefruit and honeycomb with touches of limeblossom and yuzu. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of citrus flavors with a racy backbone and a zippy finish. Great value! Drinkdate: 2018 - 2022. Jun 2018Winery:There are fresh fruit aromas of apple, pear, pineapple, and vanilla mixed with floral notes and slight oak in theglass. The 2016 is rich and creamy with slight citrus notes along with crisp flavors of pear, apple, tropical fruits and nectarines. The Viognier addsa slight floral component and a rich mouth-feel. This vintage has bright acidity, nice balance and a very long aftertaste."
