2007 La Crema Sonoma Chardonnay, California $23
It is nice to find a chardonnay at this price that does not overdo the oak influence. Oak is like salt and pepper on a meal just the right amount makes a meal terrific and to much can ruin any meal. The aromas and flavors of yellow apples, key limes, and vanilla, melt into a caramel burnt sugar note. All of these flavors together make for a memorable and rich delicious wine without to much oak. It would work perfectly with sea bass or herb rubbed grilled chicken the clean fresh flavors along with the herbs in the rub would draw out all the subtleties in the wine. A terrific under $25 Chardonnay.
