Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
This is a foursquare white with sliced-apple, pear and cream aromas and flavors. Just a touch of vanilla. Full-bodied and lightly oily with a long, flavorful finish. Purity of fruit here. Juicy at the end. Drink or hold.
All barrel fermented Chardonnay from Frenchman Hills Vineyard brought up in 15% new oak, the 2018 Chardonnay Ch offers plenty of orchard fruits, honeyed flowers, and brioche notes as well as a medium-bodied, round, beautifully textured style on the palate. It’s another smoking value from this team.
COMMENTARY: The 2018 Substance Chardonnay is one of the world’s top white wine values. TASTING NOTES: This wine drinks well. Enjoy its lovely and alluring aromas and flavors of ripe apple, tart stone fruit, dried peach, and a bare shading of oak with oven roast chicken and wild mushrooms.
