Ferrari-Carano Reserve Chardonnay 2013 (750ML)

91 RP

91 Points Wine Advocate: Another winner in the white wines is the 2013 Chardonnay Reserve, which spends a surprising 16 months in French oak prior to being bottled. This has been another winner from Ferreri-Carano, and one can understand its popularity, given the tropical fruit, honeysuckle, beautiful purity of character, and medium to full-bodied flavors in the stunning delicious-factor that also comes into play with this wine."

"The grapes for the 2013 Reserve Chardonnay come primarily from Ferrari-Carano's vineyard in Napa Valley Carneros. This wine entices with aromas of quince, apple, cinnamon, caramel, citrus, butter, vanilla and graham cracker complemented by elegant, upfront flavors of pear, peach, creme brulee and hazelnut with a lingering, toasted oak finish. In addition to a wide variety of appetizers, shellfish and poultry dishes, the Reserve Chardonnay pairs perfectly with richer foods that enhance this fuller bodied and deliciously creamy wine."
