2008 Fogdog Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

13.5% alc., 2,500 cases, $35. 14% estate vineyards and 86% independent growers. · Light straw color in the glass. Appealing scents of creme brulee, butter, willow bark and honey. Moderately rich on the palate with crisp flavors of white stone fruits, apple pie, honey, melon, spice and a hint of bourbon. I like the fact that this wine is not burdened by oak as so many lesser priced Chardonnays are prone to be. This wine is very user friendly and will have widespread appeal. Buy this by the case to drink now. Good. Reviewed December 14, 2010
