Laird 2008 Cold Creek Ranch Chardonnay (California)

Having drank a bottle of the Laird Cabernet Sauvignon and loving it, I had rather high expectations for the Laird Chardonnay and it did not disappoint. I have tried more Chardonnays than any other varietal so I know what I like and this Chardonnay I like.

Gold color in the glass with aromas of smokey white cheddar, toasty vanilla and subtle oak. On the Palate creamy butter, toasted pineapple, crisp apple. hints of lemon and grilled peaches. Excellent Chardonnay will purchase again.

This wine would pair well with Braised Pork & Pearl Onions with Grapes, Pan Roasted Scallops or Roasted Chicken.
