Chalk Hill Estate Chardonnay 2017 Review

This is the wine your parents were raised on. It's the classic, big, oaky Chard that smells like movie popcorn and butterscotch. The alcohol is high, so nuance is sacrificed for boldness and richness. It’s really a food wine, but also a sit and chill on the deck wine.
