Smoking Loon Chardonnay

Beautifully made, our 2012 Smoking Loon Chardonnay opens with inviting aromas of toasted almond and apricot, followed by subtle notes of crème brulee. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced, this wine is a definite crowd-pleaser; fresh fruit flavors that intermingle effortlessly and a creamy palate due to three months of French oak aging. Fuji apple, juicy summer pear and toffee play key roles in creating the inviting palate for this wine. The great acidity is a perfect match for an appetizer of crispy calamari with banana pepper rings, roast chicken with potatoes au gratin or a bevy of delicious cheeses, most notably, Brie, Gouda or Gruyère.
