Starmont - Chardonnay 2018

JS 91
James Suckling
A pretty tight Napa chardonnay with cooked apples, cream, crushed cement and hints of flint. It’s medium-bodied with a tight, firm finish. Drink now.
 

Medium straw in color; aromas of D’anjou pear and Golden Delicious apple with hints of lemon curd and vanilla custard; fresh acidity and a long, refreshing finish.

Enjoy on its own or pair it with roast or grilled chicken, lightly creamed pastas and seasonal salads.

Both barrel and stainless-steel fermented, this is a bright, balanced white wine that shows a juicy core of pear and apple. Lively and weighty, it has substance and style within a context of vibrant acidity and earthy stone.
