Broadbent Chardonnay North Coast '23

This North Coast Chardonnay shines with a bright, pale gold color. The nose is fresh and vibrant, offering classic aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, and a subtle note of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is round and approachable, with a creamy, textured mouthfeel that is balanced by a soft, refreshing acidity. Flavors of peach, lemon curd, and a touch of baking spice unfold with pleasant warmth and accessibility. This wine is fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel and American oak barrels, a technique that provides a touch of classic California richness while maintaining a bright, fruit-forward character. Earning 88 points for its consistent quality and drinkability, it is a versatile crowd-pleaser, perfect with roast turkey, pasta in a cream sauce, or grilled seafood.
