Another Kroger bargain! When I have time to stop and browse the expansive wine aisle at Kroger, I'll pick up a few wines just because they are $5+ off regular price/the price you'd find at most wine shops. Today, I picked up this number, a Rodney Strong Sonoma Co Chardonnay, a Chateau Souverain Merlot and a Hogue late harvest Riesling - stay tuned.
Description by the winery's web-site: "Rich, luscious mouth-filling "best of region" wines [make up] the Indian Wells Series - jammy, fruit-driven reds and juicy, tropical whites. The region’s warm days cause the [chardonnay] grapes to assert sweet citrus and tropical characteristics, while the cool nights promote good structure, balance and flavor intensity."
This is one of the best Chardonnays I've had for the price and I intend to get more while on sale. The aroma is fresh bread and cream, the flavor is butter, pineapple, raw almond and toast. The balance is superb and the finish is lasting with just the right amount of toasty oak. For the record, I've also had the Indian Wells label of Cabernet and find it equally pleasing.
