Simi Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2019

This chardonnay from Simi Winery is a wonderful example of why I say that it is far easier to get an excellent white wine for around twenty dollars then it is a red. This white pours a very clear yellow. The aromas are clear and crisp with lemon peel and apple being dominant. The flavors are crisp as well with yellow apple, vanilla and pear coming through. The mouthfeel is silky and the flavors distinct. The wine is fresh and approachable making it very enjoyable to drink. Achieving value with white wines is a much easier thing to achieve in my opinion…as this wine from Simi illustrates quite clearly to me.

Rating 8.8
