Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay Indian Wells 2016

Golden yellow color in the glass. Buttery/vanilla aromas grab the nose immediately followed by light lemon and apricot.  Lovely flavors of tropical fruit (mango?), vanilla with maybe a touch of butterscotch.  Flavors linger for a bit before becoming a bit (just a bit) sharper with citrus (lemon? grapefruit?).  A nice easy drinking Chardonnay.  Nice wine for the price point. 

Rating 8.3
