Cruse Wine Co. Rorick Vineyard Chardonnay 2016
This wine has aromas of melon, pineapple, nectarine, white flowers, beeswax and a hint of toasted nuts It’s dry with medium plus acidity, medium body and flavors of lemon, white flowers and stone fruit It a well crafted and balance Chardonnay, it’s crisp, fruity with a really lovely texture Priced around $3This wine gave us aromas of green apple, pear, yeast and a hint of white flowers It’s dry with high acidity and flavors of lemon rind and pith, white flowers and yeast Very tart, too acidic on it’s own - most people probably need to pair this with food But we thought it was delicious, crisp, fruity with a hint of those yeasty flavors - a great sparkler fifty cases produced Priced around $45
