Winery review: WINEMAKER ROB MONDAVI JR. - ONEHOPE California Chardonnay is hand-crafted with a blend of grapes from select vineyards throughout Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast of California. Our Chardonnay is blended with Muscat and Chenin Blanc displaying a pale gold color with aromas of fresh apple blossom and honeysuckle. Flavors of crisp pear and apple are vibrant on the palate, while its balanced oak and bright acidity makes this wine a great match with broiled or grilled seafood, poultry dishes and a wide assortment of cheeses.
My review: My first impression at the nose was that flowers; I guess you could say honeysuckle was dominant as the winemaker mentioned. Very pleasing aroma overall. A little hotter than I expected based off that, but the fruity flavors balanced out and I would drink again.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
