Calera Mt. Harlan Chardonnay 2019 750 mL bottle VINTAGES

This medium gold colored Chardonnay from Calera is Excellent. It opens with a ripe pineapple and mango bouquet with hints of hazelnut, pastry dough, and vanilla (bee's wax). On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium integrated acidity. The mouthfeel is silky smooth and elegant. The flavor profile is a rich oak, pineapple, and pear blend with notes of pie crust. We also detected hints of mango and lemon. The finish is dry, and its rich flavors linger and last for a while. The Panel would drink this impressive Chard on its own or pair it with lobster bisque. Enjoy. Score - 94. (Panel, kenswineguide.com, Jan. 7, 2022)
