2016 Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay

This is an oaked Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California. It is, quite honestly, the best Chardonnay that I have ever enjoyed, and I am a Chardonnay girl. It is wonderfully creamy, almost buttery, with flavors of stonefruit, and ripe apple and pear, with hints of brown spice. I had mine chilled, as an aperitif. But it is also excellent with chicken, seafood, and pasta dishes, in particular.
