Tasting - BelCreme De Lys Chardonnay

Name: Belcreme de Lys Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $12.99

Winery Review: Slow down, exhale, and enjoy this rich, creamy Chardonnay. Our winemaker chose California vineyards that yield incredibly lush flavors of tropical fruit, baked apple and citrus. Sur lie aging gives this wine its soft, creamy style. Use of primarily French oak adds hints of vanilla and crème brûlée on the finish, making this wine the perfect reward at the end of your day

My Review: Apples and citrus on the nose. Very creamy and smooth. Strong hints of mango. Not much oak. Nice vanilla flavor on the finish. Drank this wine with chicken Alfredo and the creaminess of the wine works really well with the sauce and brought out more of the fruity flavors. I really enjoyed this wine a lot.
