Anderson Valley Wine to “FEL” in Love With

I've been tasting these wines in consecutive vintages for about four years now, and I love every vintage. This is superior juice offered at reasonable prices. Don't miss out!

FEL 2016 Chardonnay Anderson Valley 13.9% $32
What a classic beauty! This is everything you hope a top, North Coast Californian Chardonnay to be, and its intensity doesn’t seem to stop. It gets better into the second day and holds into the third! This wine has impressive flavor density and layered concentration. The palate echoes the nose from its first tones of slightly crunchy, baked apple skin and succulent Canary melon flavors to its lingering tones of toasted hazelnuts and honey. There’s a tingly line of zip that runs through the core of this wine to give it pep and refreshment!
