Franciscan Chardonnay 2008

A lot of white wine tastings lately! The 2008 Franciscan Chardonnay is the next one up. Fransiscan is a popular California producer. I have had their Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot many times, but this is my first dive into their Chardonnay.

No heavy hand here as the aroma and taste has good flavor but not over the top as many California Chardonnays can go. Nice aroma or fruit peel and warm butter. Flavor delivers nice vanilla, warm nuts and deep citrus undertones. The Franciscan Chardonnay 2008 is light enough to be consumed on it's own but has the depth to match strong with typical chardonnay wine food pairing.

Cold crab anyone? :)

Enjoy!
