Jen’s Notes

So named because this is Tablas Creek's first non-Rhone varietal. It is also the antithesis of my great love in Chardonnay, Chablis. I liked it, though. This wine had scents of amaretto, complemented by a palate of baking spices, pear and vanilla bean. It was moderately focused. Though I would like a bit more in the way of fresh acidity, I thought this Chardonnay was quite unusual in terms of the flavor profile. Medium finish with a hint of fennel
