Newell Vineyards Chardonnay Manisse 2004 Tasting Notes
What strikes you first about this delightful chardonnay is its opulence. It is rich and full-bodied. I was thinking this is one of the few chardonnays that is proud to be American as opposed to trying to out-do the French at their own subtle game. If you like Rombauer, as just about every American does and every critic with French trained buds does not, then you will also love this wine.

Ripe pear, pineapple, papaya and fig dominate the palate. Nose is lemon and other citrus blossom; also caramel, honey and butterscotch. Think rich, think yummy.
The fruit is from an estate vineyard and was hand-harvested. Barrel fermented in French oak casks and 9 months on the lees.
This wine is delightful and a crowd pleaser. Highly recommend.
