We think the 2010 SHV Chardonnay should be everybody’s house wine! It’s light and dry, eminently affordable, shows the endearing qualities of a fruity, non-oaky, non-buttery Chardonnay, and, it’s ready to drink now!
We think the 2010 SHV Chardonnay should be everybody's house wine! It's light and dry, eminently affordable, shows the endearing qualities of a fruity, non-oaky, non-buttery Chardonnay, and, it's ready to drink now! This very approachable wine is pale straw in color, and its aromas are of ripe honeydew melon with a touch of tropical fruit. With a brisk mouth feel and crisp finish, it's bound to be a crowd pleaser. We suggest you serve it with a Moroccan Tagine, a spicy braised chicken dish served on a bed of couscous. Delicious!
