My Review:
Light fruity aromas of melon and a slightly nutty finish. Tastes dry but not too hot and has a nice hone spice balance. Also get notes of raspberry.
Wine Folly:
Chardonnay has notes of yellow apple and starfruit which are light fruity flavors similar to melon. The vanilla also may be along the same lines as the honey I picked up. (Wine Folly pg. 96)
Additional Tasting Notes
Cheapwinefinder.com:
"The color is a shiny wheat yellow. The nose is lemon, apple, peach, vanilla, pineapple, nectarine, a little honey, and lightly floral. The Castleridge Carneros Chardonnay 2021 is a smooth, rounded wine with some interesting elements of the mid-palate. This Chardonnay tastes like lemon curd, green apple, tart grapefruit, spice, juicy peach, and Anjou pear. The mid-palate adds vanilla cream, melon, that salty/nutty on-lees thing, and dried apricot. The acidity is well-balanced, the flavors have plenty of time to unfold and the wine has excellent length." (Castleridge Carneros Chardonnay 2021 - Cheap Wine Finder)
I get the apple and hone notes on the nose and tongue. I also get the spice on the tongue and mild fruit such as pear.
