Tasting wines with winemakers is one of the best ways to get insights into what the wines' reason to be. The 2016 Smoke Tree Chardonnay is an excellent example of a wine made for those who enjoy balance and purity. TASTING NOTES. This wine exhibits attractive brightness, pleasure, and fineness. Its aromas and flavors of apple, minerality, and fragrant flowers should pair it well with pan-fried, panko-crusted Petrale sole. (Wine.com - 90 Points)
