2006 Markham Napa Valley Chardonnay


2006 Markham Estate Grown Napa Valley Chardonnay - $16 California. This chardonnay is uniquely different from the average California chardonnay it that the wine is the perfect balance of oak, and fruit. The aromas are of butter and lemon. The flavors are of green apples simmered in butter, with acidity that cuts nicely through the butter. A light to medium bodied chardonnay. I really like this wine it is both buttery and citrus at the same time. This estate grown chardonnay is also a terrific value because at $16 it's $5 - $10 dollars cheaper than comparable chardonnays from Napa. This wine should be able to be found at better wine shops.
