OK. I have a shoutout/confession here: I originally bought this wine, very well priced at $8.99, for the family's annual Memorial Day BBQ. In a sad twist of events, however, my poor Grandpa was hospitalized, so the annual BBQ never took place. SAD! So, shoutout & prayers to my beloved Grandpa. He's the bestest grandpa anyone could ever ask for.
Back to the wine. I'm drinking this wine at room temperature, and I've got to say, it's giving other chardonnays at even double the price point a run for the money. It's at once oakey & buttery without being overly so. It's smooth. And, with an alcohol content of 13.5%, it's no lightweight either.
I'm really starting to feel like all wines should be consumed at room temperature. I don't like my white wines chilled anymore. This one in particular almost feels like a red wine in my mouth. It's heavy, but there's no legs on the glass. It's one thick sheet that looks like it wants to form legs, but just doesn't have the ability to do it yet. But it wants to.
Kudos to this wine! This wine is proof that you can find a great, food-friendly, delicious chardonnay for under $10.
Cheers!
