This is my favorite Chardonnay from the Bachelder 2018 lineup. It expertly combines the three single vineyards into one, and seems to take the best parts of each creating a beauty of a wine (and helps one understand the benefits of blending - reds and whites). A rich mouthfeel loaded with pineapple, apple, pear and even a fun note of bananas-foster, with hints of vanilla and caramel on the finish. Medium-length finish which shows good minerality and acidity. This might be one of my favorite Bachelder Chardonnay’s ever. Price: $34.95 – Rating: ****+
