2015 Lindeman's Bin 65 Chardonnay
#nb-27-16
As I have been quoted many times in the past, "Sometimes the best characteristic in an inexpensive wine is the absence of bad characteristics". We don't always buy wines to fulfill standards such as varietal characteristics or scores in comparison with other wines in the same category. The Lindeman's Bin 65 Chardonnay is a best buy, in that, it is inexpensive, reliable, suits a wide range of palates, and has no bad characteristics. It is enjoyable and easy to drink
The color is clear and bright, and the nose has the distinct fragrance of muscadine vine and a bit of green apple. The flavor is apple with a lot of lemony background, and a touch of sweet melon. The finish is clean, and despite a fruity sweetness, leaves no cloying aftertaste. The alcohol content is 13.5%.
This wine would pair with a number of foods, especially "summer fare". My suggestion would be, however, to enjoy it chilled very cold as a refreshing beverage by itself, or perhaps paired with a soft cheese like Gouda or Muenster. Norm's score is 86.
price : $7 - $10
score: 86
