Charles & Charles Chardonnay 2013, Columbia Valley
Critic Reviews (4)
I would liken this Columbia Valley Chardonnay to the Fourth of July. It's got tiny moving parts, all in motion,...
This is a fresh, mellow chardonnay with very little oak, which allows pure expression of the yellow apple/pear fruit....
A soft aromatic and very flavourful chardonnay with a modest use of oak such that the bright lively fruit shines...
A very basic chardonnay but clean and with good acid structure. Not a great deal of fruit save some lemony citrus...

A nice simple Chard, priced right, even better at the sale price
Description: Light gold in colour with a medium intense nose. This wine features light oak, lemon, peach, Granny apples, vanilla, oak spice and chalk. Medium+ body with good acidity and a fairly long length.
Negatives: A little heat from the 13.9% alcohol
Interesting Point:
Drink now or in the next 5 of years on its own or pair it with chicken thighs seared and sauteed in an olive oil, butter white wine sauce with basil and shallot remoulade.
