2016 Sonoma-Loeb Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

14.1% alc., $34. · Moderate golden yellow color in the glass. The nose is bright and fruity upon opening, offering scents of lemon curd, yellow apple, warm brioche and a whiff of honey and vanilla. Mid weight flavors of pineapple, guava and spice in a ripe-fruited style with a mildly creamy mouthfeel. The wine becomes less appealing over time in the glass both on the nose and palate, wants for acidity, and there is the slightest sense of alcohol on the finish. Score: 88. Reviewed June 9, 2018
