(9.3) 2006 Chalk Hill Chardonnay

Sonoma, CA – $34

*Tasted at the Anderlonis/Rediker wedding in Chatham, paired with Steamed Halibut with Fresh Corn Polenta, Truffle Emulsion.  Though I have really begun to enjoy an unoaked Charonnay, this was an oaked Chardonnay done very well.  The aromas covered a range from apple to tangerine to butter cream.  The taste had a slight acidity with hints of citrus and refreshing minerals.  Though it’s nowhere near my usual price point, I found it very balanced and would seek it out again.  9.3
